perf(packets): keyset-based pagination for recent-packet queries
get_recent_packets/1 and get_recent_packets_for_map/1 now accept a
:cursor option (%{received_at: DateTime, id: uuid}) instead of :offset
for deep paging. On the 100M-row partitioned packets table, offset
scanning was linear in page depth; keyset is constant.

Ordering tightened to (received_at DESC, id DESC) so the cursor is
stable across ties. idx_packets_received_desc still covers the lookup;
a dedicated (received_at DESC, id DESC) index isn't worth its size
given microsecond timestamp granularity.

historical_loader migrated from batch_offset*batch_size scheduling to
a sequential cursor chain. The old loader fanned out N Process.send_after
batches up-front which could arrive out-of-order; the cursor version
waits for batch N before scheduling N+1, and also short-circuits the
remaining schedule when an under-full batch signals exhaustion.

mobile_channel load_historical_packets dropped its meaningless
`offset: 0`; callsign history already lacked offset.

No LiveView or WebSocket payload shapes changed. offset: 0 (or omitted)
still behaves as first page; non-zero offsets are silently ignored.

defmodule AprsmeWeb.MobileChannel do
@moduledoc """
Channel for mobile clients to receive real-time APRS packets filtered by geographic bounds.
## Usage
1. Connect to socket: wss://aprs.me/mobile/websocket
2. Join channel: mobile:packets
3. Subscribe to bounds: push "subscribe_bounds" with bounds payload
4. Receive packets: listen for "packet" events
5. Update bounds: push "update_bounds" with new bounds
## Messages
### Client -> Server
- "subscribe_bounds" - Subscribe to packets within geographic bounds
Payload: %{north: float, south: float, east: float, west: float}
- "update_bounds" - Update subscription bounds (e.g., when user pans/zooms map)
Payload: %{north: float, south: float, east: float, west: float}
- "unsubscribe" - Stop receiving packets
- "search_callsign" - Search for callsigns matching a pattern
Payload: %{query: string, limit: integer (optional)}
- "subscribe_callsign" - Subscribe to live updates for a callsign pattern
Payload: %{callsign: string, hours_back: integer (optional)}
- "unsubscribe_callsign" - Stop receiving updates for tracked callsign
### Server -> Client
- "packet" - New APRS packet within subscribed bounds or matching tracked callsign
Payload: %{
id: string,
callsign: string,
lat: float,
lng: float,
timestamp: string (ISO 8601),
symbol_table_id: string,
symbol_code: string,
comment: string (optional),
altitude: float (optional),
speed: float (optional),
course: integer (optional),
path: string (optional)
}
- "subscription_confirmed" - Bounds subscription successful
Payload: %{bounds: map, message: string}
