feat: researched defaults + USGS auto-lookup + category documentation

- Battery thresholds: 30%/15%/5% with voltage equivalents (3.60V/3.50V/3.40V)
- Channel utilization threshold: 40% (firmware throttles GPS at 25%)
- Packet flood threshold: 10 packets/min per node (was 500/day)
- Mesh health threshold: 65 (was 70)
- USGS adapter with NWS NWPS flood stage auto-lookup
- API endpoint: GET /api/env/usgs/lookup/{site_id}
- Alert categories with detailed descriptions and example messages
- Packet flood vs stream flood terminology fully disambiguated
