chore: release v0.26.2

The COM port was a bare text field — the only serial device in the app without
a port list, and typing one by hand gave no clue when it failed.

A Combobox rather than the Select the other devices use, deliberately: the port
of a USB adapter that is not plugged in does not appear in any list, and
refusing a typed value would mean the antenna cannot be configured until the
adapter is in. Detected ports are offered, anything else is still accepted, and
the value is trimmed and upper-cased on the way in.

The failure itself was already logged by the SteppIR client ("cannot open COM7
@ 4800 baud"); what was missing was the line above it not claiming the antenna
had connected. That is fixed separately.

Carries the 0.26.2 changelog entries for this and the three preceding commits —
one file, and splitting it four ways would have said less than this does.

+// A Russian station can move district, and an expedition operates from a dozen
+// in a fortnight. Asking "which district is this callsign in?" therefore has no

+// three-year-old contact into a false one — silently, with nothing downstream
+// able to tell. Every lookup here takes a date for that reason.
+//
+// # The data
+//
+// Compiled from RDA.mdb, the reference database distributed for the award
+// (58 188 callsigns). Two shapes live in its RDA column and they mean different
+// things:

+//	KK-08                              the district the station operates from,
+//	                                   with no history — the compiler knows of
+//	                                   no change for this call
+//	<2021-07-29,2021-07-29,TO-16>…     dated activity records, one per period
+//
+// 43 294 callsigns are of the first kind and 14 894 of the second. A dated
+// record covering the QSO day is an ANSWER; a bare current district is an
