Subject: [PATCH] Add JP_STRICT 5ms continuous RSSI sensing before TX (ARIB
 STD-T108)

Under JP_STRICT mode, add energy-based carrier sensing loop before CAD:
- Sample RSSI continuously for >= 5ms before each TX attempt
- If RSSI exceeds threshold at any point, trigger random backoff
- ARIB STD-T108 requires energy-based sensing; LoRa CAD alone is
  insufficient as it only detects LoRa preambles

This satisfies the minimum 5ms continuous sensing requirement for
the 920.6-922.2 MHz zone (specified low power radio, LBT mode).

Test results (JP LoRa SF12/BW125/CR4-8, simultaneous DM):
- 16-char: 2/2 success, delivered within 1:03-1:50
- 1-char:  3/4 success, delivered within 0:46-2:11
           (shorter airtime reduces RSSI detection window)
