Add reply bot module with DM-only responses and rate limiting (#9456)

* Implement Meshtastic reply bot module with ping and status features

Adds a reply bot module that listens for /ping, /hello, and /test commands received via direct messages or broadcasts on the primary channel. The module always replies via direct message to the sender only, reporting hop count, RSSI, and SNR. Per-sender cooldowns are enforced to reduce network spam, and the module can be excluded at build time via a compile flag. Updates include the new module source files and required build configuration changes.

* Update ReplyBotModule.cpp

* Update src/modules/ReplyBotModule.h

Match the existing MESHTASTIC_EXCLUDE_* guard pattern so the module is excluded by default.
