This is a non-breaking change that increases the internal representation
of node counts from uint8_t (max 255) to uint16_t (max 65535) to support
larger mesh networks, particularly on ESP32-S3 devices with PSRAM.
Changes:
- NodeStatus: numOnline, numTotal, lastNumTotal (uint8_t -> uint16_t)
- ProtobufModule: numOnlineNodes (uint8_t -> uint16_t)
- MapApplet: loop counters changed to size_t for consistency with getNumMeshNodes()
- NodeStatus: Fixed log format to use %u for unsigned integers
Note: Default class methods keep uint32_t for numOnlineNodes parameter
to match the public API and allow flexibility, even though internal node
counts use uint16_t (max 65535 nodes).
This change does NOT affect protobuf definitions, maintaining wire
compatibility with existing clients and devices.
