James L 4e5d4ee8ad v1.0.8: Fix heap exhaustion from unbounded random_blobs ...

Root cause: Python Reticulum trims random_blobs per destination entry
(MAX_RANDOM_BLOBS=64 in-memory, PERSIST_RANDOM_BLOBS=32 on disk).
The C++ firmware had these constants defined but NEVER enforced them,
causing unbounded growth. With 21 paths x 60+ blobs x ~90 bytes each,
the destination table alone consumed ~57KB of the ESP32 324KB heap.

Fixes:
- Trim random_blobs after insert (matching Python behavior)
- Trim random_blobs on deserialization from flash
- Trim random_blobs to PERSIST_RANDOM_BLOBS on serialization
- Enforce _path_table_maxpersist when writing path table (was declared
  but never used - write_path_table saved everything)
- Reduce MCU constants: MAX_RANDOM_BLOBS 64->16, PERSIST_RANDOM_BLOBS 32->8
- Reduce path_table_maxsize 128->24, maxpersist 32->12
- Add memory diagnostic after path table load
- Trim loaded paths to maxsize on startup via cull_path_table()

Results: destination_table 21KB->5.8KB, free heap 63K(22%)->156K(49%)
