Enhancement/telemetry module payload

[oscgonfer]

Works on #7047, with tests on-going at the moment. It doesn't add non-present values in the telemetry module.

In addition, it adds a small convention to change battery level to -1 when not present. (To be reviewed based on the discussion in meshtastic/protobufs#706).

Finally, as a side benefit, removing these fields from the payload reduces the size of the payload in many cases.

I'll fix that! Maybe worth adding that to the .gitignore?

Is this the right approach based on #7047 (comment) ?

Just tested again with the node I have at hand (seeed-xiao-s3), and I confirm the changes work as intended in my test:
