gpsd sends multiple SKY messages per cycle — some contain only DOP
values with an empty satellites array. Previously this would overwrite
the satellite list, causing the sky view to flicker empty. Now DOP-only
SKY messages preserve the existing satellite list. Also adds a 5-second
polling fallback for satellite data since SSE can miss sky updates due
to queue contention.

start_gpsd_daemon() acquires _gpsd_process_lock then calls
stop_gpsd_daemon() which tries to acquire the same non-reentrant Lock,
causing an immediate deadlock. Changed to RLock so the same thread can
re-enter the lock.

Bluetooth enhancements (service data inspector, appearance codes, MAC
cluster tracking, behavioral flags, IRK badges, distance estimation),
ACARS SoapySDR multi-backend support, dump1090 stale process cleanup,
GPS error state, and proximity radar/signal card UI improvements.

New modes:
- BT Locate: SAR Bluetooth device location with GPS-tagged signal trail,
RSSI-based proximity bands, audio alerts, and IRK auto-extraction from
paired devices (macOS plist / Linux BlueZ)
- GPS: Real-time position tracking with live map, speed, heading, altitude,
satellite info, and track recording via gpsd
Bug fixes:
- Fix ABBA deadlock between session lock and aggregator lock in BT Locate
- Fix bleak scan lifecycle tracking in BluetoothScanner (is_scanning property
now cross-checks backend state)
- Fix map tile persistence when switching modes
- Use 15s max_age window for fresh detections in BT Locate poll loop
Documentation:
- Update README, FEATURES.md, USAGE.md, and GitHub Pages with new modes

Remove direct serial GPS dongle support in favor of gpsd daemon connectivity.
The UI now auto-connects to gpsd on page load and shows a GPS indicator when connected.
Simplify ADS-B dashboard controls bar for a cleaner, more compact layout.
Add setup-dev.sh for streamlined development environment setup.
- Remove GPSReader class and NMEA parsing (utils/gps.py)
- Consolidate to GPSDClient only with auto-connect endpoint
- Add GPS indicator with pulsing dot animation
- Compact controls bar with smaller fonts and tighter spacing
- Add aircraft database download banner/functionality

Airspy support:
- Add AIRSPY to SDRType enum and driver mappings
- Create AirspyCommandBuilder using SoapySDR tools (rx_fm, readsb, rtl_433)
- Register in SDRFactory and add to hardware type dropdown
- Supports Airspy R2/Mini (24MHz-1.8GHz) and HF+ devices
GPS coordinate persistence:
- Save observer location to localStorage when manually entered or via geolocation
- Restore saved coordinates on page load in both index.html and adsb_dashboard.html
- Coordinates are shared between both pages
