feat(antenna): three tracking modes for Ultrabeam and SteppIR
The follow loop only ever had one behaviour — re-tune once the rig moved further than a fixed step. The SteppIR's own controller software offers three, and operators arrive with that mental model: every frequency change, past a threshold, or only on a band change. They are real operating trade-offs, not preferences: "always" keeps resonance perfect at the cost of motors running constantly (and on a SteppIR every move inhibits transmit while the elements travel), "band" moves them a handful of times a day. "Always" is implemented as the threshold mode with a 1 kHz threshold rather than as a separate branch, so all modes keep the one deadband reference that matters: the rig frequency last commanded for, NOT the antenna's own reported frequency — a SteppIR flips its reported frequency between the commanded value and its home value, which would re-issue a SET on nearly every poll and leave the operator permanently unable to transmit. Band mode compares against the band last COMMANDED for, not the rig's previous band, so the first move after startup and any move made by hand still get reconciled. It applies to the immediate spot-click path too: a click inside the band the antenna is already resonant in moves nothing. An unset or unrecognised mode resolves to the step mode, so every config written before this option behaves exactly as it did. Also routes the antenna settings block through t() — it was hardcoded English.

"QSOs logged from WSJT-X now carry the space weather and the distance, like hand-logged ones. The UDP path stamped the station profile, the DXCC and the QSL defaults but not SFI, A, K or distance — so an operator running digital had those fields empty across the whole log. Space weather is only stamped on a contact less than a day old: a logger re-broadcasting its backlog would otherwise be handed this morning readings for last month contacts.",

"Band openings: EME contacts are no longer mistaken for an opening. A 2 m opening was announced at 9650 km towards Japan on stations working moonbounce — real contacts, but the moon says nothing about the band, and an antenna pointed that way finds nothing. Each band now has the longest path the atmosphere can actually carry: 3500 km on 2 m, 4000 on 4 m, and no limit at all on 6 and 10 m where multi-hop really does go round the world.",

"Les QSO enregistrés depuis WSJT-X portent désormais la météo spatiale et la distance, comme ceux saisis à la main. Le chemin UDP posait le profil station, le DXCC et les défauts QSL mais ni SFI, ni A, ni K, ni distance — un opérateur en numérique avait donc ces champs vides sur tout son log. La météo spatiale n est posée que sur un contact de moins d un jour : sinon un logiciel qui rediffuse son historique se verrait attribuer les relevés de ce matin sur des contacts du mois dernier.",

"Ouvertures de bande : les contacts EME ne sont plus pris pour une ouverture. Une ouverture 2 m était annoncée à 9650 km vers le Japon sur des stations en rebond lunaire — de vrais contacts, mais la Lune ne dit rien de la bande, et une antenne pointée par là ne trouve rien. Chaque bande a désormais la distance maximale que l atmosphère peut réellement porter : 3500 km en 2 m, 4000 en 4 m, et aucune limite en 6 et 10 m où les sauts multiples font vraiment le tour du monde.",
