logging: audit log strings for terseness, reclaiming ~6.8 KB of string data (#11374)

* logging: strip redundant punctuation, level prefixes, and 'successfully' from log strings

The logger already appends a newline and prints the level tag, so
trailing '.', '!', '...', literal \n, and 'Error:'/'Warning:' prefixes
inside format strings are wasted flash bytes. Same for 'successfully'
(the affirmative form already implies it).

* logging: tighten verbose log strings in modules, radio, platform, and system code

Rewrite wordy log messages to terser equivalents - drop filler words
(articles, 'attempting', 'due to', 'please'), use 'Can't X'/'X failed'
phrasing, and abbreviate where the codebase already does (config, init,
msg, BT). Format specifiers and argument lists are unchanged; distinctive
greppable tokens are preserved.

* logging: tighten verbose log strings in telemetry sensors and GPS

Same terseness pass: drop filler, 'Can't X'/'X failed' phrasing, common
abbreviations (temp, msg). Specifiers, arguments, and sensor-name
prefixes unchanged.

* logging: tighten verbose log strings in mesh core

Same terseness pass over NodeDB, Router, MeshService, PhoneAPI,
RadioInterface, NextHopRouter, and PacketHistory: 'X failed'/'Can't X'
phrasing, imperative verbs, dropped filler. Specifiers and arguments
unchanged; duplicate literals kept identical to preserve linker string
dedup.

* logging: restore boot-logo trailing newline and progress-dot strings

The terseness pass over-trimmed: the Meshtastic ASCII boot logo kept its
blank line via a trailing \n, and three bare "." progress ticks were
reduced to empty strings.

* logging: address review feedback on the terseness audit

- Node/packet IDs use the repo's 0x%08x convention in NextHopRouter,
  NodeDB, AdminModule and CannedMessageModule. The sibling log in each
  if/else pair is converted too, so a pair isn't split across two formats.
  next_hop stays 0x%x - it's the last-byte relay hint, not a NodeNum.
- RTC: the read-path and set-path "not found" warnings were byte-identical,
  so the linker deduped them and the log couldn't say which one fired.
  Split into "RTC read:" / "RTC set:". (The four sites live in mutually
  exclusive #ifdef branches, so the RTC family was never ambiguous.)
- SCD4X getAmbientPressure()/setAmbientPressure() logged "altitude", and
  SCD30 getASC() logged "Can't send command" for a read. Both now name the
  operation they actually perform.
- LOG_ERROR already carries the level: ". Error: %u" -> ", rc=%u" (matching
  the existing rc=%d house style) and "Error executing X()" -> "X() failed".
- Typos and wording: "OTA partiton.  (Reason" -> "OTA partition (reason",
  "CST3530 not response ~" -> "CST3530 no response", "Packet received with
  to: of 0" -> "to=0", HostMetrics "Error decoding" -> "Can't decode", and
  the dangling ": " on the NextHopRouter retransmission line.

Printf specifier sequences are byte-identical on all 37 touched lines apart
from the 6 deliberate %x/%u -> %08x node-ID widenings, all on uint32_t args.
