feat: add rtl_tcp remote SDR support to weather satellite decoder

Browse Source 
Extends the rtl_tcp support (added in c1339b6 for APRS, Morse, DSC) to
the weather satellite mode. When a remote SDR host is provided, SatDump
uses --source rtltcp instead of --source rtlsdr, local device claiming
is skipped, and the frontend sends rtl_tcp params via getRemoteSDRConfig().

Closes #166
