feat: Add Space Weather mode with real-time solar and geomagnetic monitoring

New mode providing real-time space weather data from NOAA SWPC, NASA SDO,
and HamQSL APIs. Includes Kp index, solar wind, X-ray flux charts, HF band
conditions, D-RAP absorption maps, aurora forecast, solar imagery, flare
probability, and active solar regions. No SDR hardware required.

Bumps version to 2.20.0. Updates all documentation including README, FEATURES,
USAGE, UI_GUIDE, help modal, and GitHub Pages site.

## Space Weather
1. **Switch to Space Weather mode** - Select "Space Weather" from the Space navigation group
2. **View Dashboard** - Solar indices, NOAA scales, band conditions, and charts load automatically
3. **Solar Imagery** - Toggle between SDO 193A, 304A, and Magnetogram views
4. **D-RAP Maps** - Select frequency (5-30 MHz) to view HF radio absorption maps
5. **Aurora Forecast** - View the OVATION aurora oval for the northern hemisphere
6. **Alerts** - Review current SWPC space weather alerts and warnings
7. **Active Regions** - View solar active region data (number, location, area)
8. **Refresh** - Data auto-refreshes every 5 minutes, or click "Refresh Now"
### Tips
- No SDR hardware required — all data comes from public APIs (NOAA SWPC, NASA SDO, HamQSL)
- Check HF band conditions before operating on shortwave frequencies
- Kp >= 5 indicates geomagnetic storm conditions that may affect HF propagation
- D-RAP maps show where HF absorption is highest — useful for path planning
- Solar imagery updates approximately every 15 minutes from NASA SDO
