chore(tci): cap the diagnostic logging per message type

The transmit meters are asked for four times a second while keyed, so
logging every arrival would fill an evening's log — and a diagnostic that
fills a log is one that gets switched off instead of read. Twenty of each
is enough to tell an answer from a silence, which is all it is for.
