RSSI #93

It would be prudent for the messages to append, maybe at the beginning of each message, the RSSI received signal strength indication of the LoRa radio massage. Or maybe a button or Key Code to turn this feature on and off. There should also be some kind of indicator in the Web Page for the WiFi signal strength also.

@jsalsburg interesting idea. The received signal strength can actually be accessed on the receiver end when a packet is received, that would be cool to add a little icon next to the a neighbor node to represent the RSSI value (or maybe an average value of packets recently received from that node). As for the wifi signal strength, this would only make sense if you set up the disaster radio to be a client of a wifi network, which is an option so I guess it would be worth looking into.
