Add a meshtasticd pinmap for the RAK19714 USB SX1262 radio (CH341).

This is a host-side preset for meshtasticd, not a firmware variant for MCU nodes. The RAK19714 is meant to be used on a Raspberry Pi or other Linux/macOS host over USB, not flashed onto a Meshtastic node.

Tested with meshtasticd on Raspberry Pi with a RAK2005 USB adapter board: this YAML is enough for radio init on the RAK19714 (VID 0x1A86 / PID 0x5512).

🤝 Attestations

  • I have tested that my proposed changes behave as described.
  • I have tested that my proposed changes do not cause any obvious regressions on the following devices:
    • Heltec (Lora32) V3
    • LilyGo T-Deck
    • LilyGo T-Beam
    • RAK WisBlock 4631
    • Seeed Studio T-1000E tracker card
    • Other (please specify below)
    • RAK19714 USB on Raspberry Pi via RAK2005 (CH341, VID 0x1A86 / PID 0x5512)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added official support for the RAK19714 USB LoRa module.
    • Configured radio communication, hardware controls, RF switching, and USB identification for compatible devices.

Add a CH341 USB preset so meshtasticd can use the RAK19714 without a hand-written config.

Rename the preset to the lowercase filename.

cleanupNameForAutoconf() lowercases the CH341-generated path, and configProducts has no RAK19714 override. The loader therefore requests lora-usb-rak19714.yaml, while only bin/config.d/lora-usb-RAK19714.yaml exists. Autoconfiguration fails on case-sensitive hosts.

change filename to lowercase(lora-usb-rak19714.yaml) so autoconf can find it.
