this release includes the setting is_always_powered to prevent most devices entering sleep mode (thanks @thebentern and all devs involved!).

the idea is to move towards a more simple way to enable or disable sleep on end user devices, and will also be later added into other clients and apps.

example command to enable:

meshtastic --set is_always_powered true

note: anyone using is_router to prevent sleep, please disable that before using is_always_powered just so we can better compare results. feedback is appreciated!

is_always_powered is working very well on my tbeams and rak4631. It also really helps to get my techo to work too. On the techo I now have a good gps and radio!! Thanks a lot.
