Solution

Supersedes `net.rssi` diagnostic data source:

- Adds `net.sigstr`: signal strength Q8.8 0-100 (%)
- Adds `net.sigstrv`: signal strength value, signed Q16.16, access technology dependent
- Adds `net.sigqual`: signal quality Q8.8 0-100 (%)
- Adds `net.sigqualv`: signal quality value, signed Q16.16, access technology dependent
- Adds `net.at`: access technology. Enum:
        - 0: UNKNOWN
        - 1: WIFI
        - 2: GSM
        - 3: EDGE
        - 4: UMTS/UTRAN/WCDMA/3G
        - 5: CDMA
        - 6: LTE

Since this changes WiFI.RSSI() for the Core, I wonder if you could also check #985 and #921 please!

I wonder if we should have flags to indicate which fields are supported.

Perhaps factor out fetching the data from the modem from computing the percentages so that the computation can be more easily tested.

Perhaps add flags to explicitly indicate which fields are supported?

inf->snr = (rssi - noise) * 100;
inf->noise = noise * 100;

inf->strength = std::min(std::max(2 * (rssi + 100), 0L), 100L) * 65535 / 100;

similarly here, please consider factoring out fetching the signal values from the normalization code.

This is a good idea, since the higher level wiring APIs access the signal data field by field.
