JP LBT: suppress txdelay to jitter-scale at SF12/BW125
In JP LBT mode, the standard txdelay formula produces delays up to ~8.9s at SF12/BW125 (factor=0.5, 50B packet), which adds unnecessary latency on top of LBT backoff in a high-noise, low-node-density environment. Suppress txdelay to jitter-scale (max ~111ms at SF12/BW125/CR4/8): - Reduces average added delay from ~4400ms to ~56ms - Retains ~33% collision reduction vs zero (vs 10.4% baseline) - Scales naturally with airtime as CR decreases over time - JP_LBT_JITTER_DIVISOR promoted to public static constexpr in RadioLibWrappers.h for reuse across examples Applies to simple_repeater, simple_room_server, simple_sensor. Also aligns sensor's non-JP path to use nextInt(0,5*t+1) (was nextInt(0,6)*t).
