A MeshCore companion never advertises by itself, so the hourly zero-hop and
daily flood adverts MeshTerm sent by default were the only automatic adverts
on the air, and more than a companion needs. The Background adverts rows leave
Device config and `config advert-cadence` goes with them.
In their place, two preferences under Sending: weekly_flood_advert (off by
default) and advert_quiet_s (5/15/30/60 s, default 30). Each device keeps its
own real-time week, running from the latest of the switch-on, its last flood
advert (automatic or by hand), and its first connection; a due advert survives
a restart. Before sending, each connection must hear a packet, then the air
must stay quiet (nothing heard, nothing of ours sent) for the spell plus a
random 0-5 s, drawn afresh at every break so two waiting radios part.
