fix: Phase 8 — mesh hardening: atomic writes, unwrap elimination, GPS opt-out

Browse Source 
- Ratchet state: atomic write via tmp + rename to prevent corruption on crash
- Block header decode: replaced .unwrap() with proper error handling on
  untrusted network data (was a crash vector from malicious peers)
- Shutdown channel: replaced .unwrap() with .ok_or_else() error propagation
- Dead man's switch GPS: default changed to opt-out (auto_include_gps=false)
- Alert signature verification: already covered by Phase 4 envelope checks

- [x] **Encrypt GPS in dead man's switch alerts**: In `core/archipelago/src/mesh/alerts.rs`, find where GPS coordinates are included in alerts. Encrypt the GPS data for intended recipients only:
1. Make GPS optional in the alert struct: `gps: Option<EncryptedGps>`.
2. When creating an alert, encrypt GPS coordinates using each trusted peer's public key.
3. Only intended recipients can decrypt the GPS. Other mesh relayers see the alert but not the location.

1. If it's in message parsing/deserialization — replace with `?` (incoming data is untrusted).
2. If it's after a guaranteed check (e.g., `if x.is_some() { x.unwrap() }`) — refactor to `if let Some(v) = x`.
3. If it's truly infallible (e.g., regex compilation of a literal) — add `// SAFETY: literal regex cannot fail` comment.
