feat(rover): penalize cells surrounded by tall buildings (clutter)
Adds a per-cell building-clutter penalty so the algorithm down-ranks
spots in built environments where buildings on multiple sides
scatter/block signal regardless of which station you're aiming at.

Penalty = max_height_within_75m / 5 dB, capped at 6 dB. Path-clearance
already accounts for buildings ON the link path; this is the
"surrounded by stuff" signal.
