Ryan Malloy c839d225a8 Initial release: complete LoRa TX/RX for RYLR998 modems
GNU Radio Out-of-Tree module providing:
- Complete TX chain: PHYEncode → FrameGen → CSSMod
- Complete RX chain: CSSDemod → FrameSync → PHYDecode
- NETWORKID extraction/encoding (0-255 range)
- All SF (7-12) and CR (4/5-4/8) combinations
- Loopback tested with 24/24 configurations passing

Key features:
- Fractional SFD (2.25 downchirp) handling
- Gray encode/decode with proper inverse operations
- gr-lora_sdr compatible decode modes
- GRC block definitions and example flowgraphs
- Comprehensive documentation

Discovered RYLR998 sync word mapping:
  sync_bin_1 = (NETWORKID >> 4) * 8
  sync_bin_2 = (NETWORKID & 0x0F) * 8
