fix: Convert telemetry_vals strings to integers to prevent buffer overflow

Fixes production crashes where PacketConsumer GenServers were failing due to
attempting to insert string arrays like ['12.80', '0.00', ...] into an
integer array database field. This was causing buffer overflow as crashed
consumers couldn't process packets.

Changes:
- Enhanced put_telemetry_fields() to convert string/float telemetry values to integers
- Added robust handling for mixed data types (string, integer, float)
- Added graceful fallback for invalid values (converts to 0)
- Process telemetry from both data_extended and top-level attrs
- Added comprehensive tests for all conversion scenarios

This resolves the GenServer crashes and prevents packet processing buffer issues.
