Fix comprehensive crash prevention and add missing RF path station markers

This commit addresses two major areas:

1. Crash Prevention & Error Handling:
   - Added error handling to all database queries to prevent crashes
   - Implemented circuit breaker pattern for APRS-IS connection
   - Added timeouts to all Redis operations (5 second timeout)
   - Fixed unsafe pattern matches that could cause MatchError crashes
   - Added try/rescue blocks around background tasks
   - Improved socket operation error handling with proper cleanup
   - Enhanced packet cleanup worker with comprehensive error handling

2. RF Path Station Markers:
   - Fixed issue where digipeater/iGate icons weren't shown when searching for callsigns
   - Now loads and displays position markers for all stations in the RF path
   - Extracts RF path stations from tracked callsign packets
   - Fetches latest position for each digipeater/iGate
   - Properly displays complete RF path visualization with station positions

Technical details:
- Added Process.alive? checks before sending messages
- Fixed resource cleanup in terminate functions
- Added proper error handling to File.read operations
- Implemented safe wrapper for ShutdownHandler health checks
- All changes ensure the app continues running even when errors occur
