AUTO_OFF_MILLIS is a power-save feature aimed at battery use. When the
board reports isExternalPowered() == true (USB or other DC source),
blanking the screen serves no purpose — there's nothing to conserve.
But OLEDs are vulnerable to burn-in with static content, so this
behaviour is gated behind a new build flag KEEP_DISPLAY_ON_USB. Default
is unchanged from upstream — the display blanks after AUTO_OFF_MILLIS
on USB or battery. Variants that ship with an LCD instead of an OLED
(e.g. heltec_t096) can opt in by adding -D KEEP_DISPLAY_ON_USB to
their env, gaining always-on-while-powered without exposing OLED users
to burn-in risk.
When the flag is enabled, the implementation refreshes _auto_off every
loop iteration while externally powered, so the timer naturally counts
a fresh AUTO_OFF_MILLIS window from the moment power is removed —
no instantaneous-blank-on-unplug.
Applied to all three companion_radio UI flavours (ui-new, ui-tiny,
ui-orig). Boards without an isExternalPowered() override use the
base-class default in MeshCore.h (returns false), so battery-powered
behaviour is unchanged everywhere.

Add GPS configuration to NodePrefs structure and persist the GPS
enabled state when toggled via UI. This ensures GPS settings are
retained across device restarts.
The current logic only works for active high LEDs. Some boards need
an active low level control and therefore they set LED_STATE_ON to 0.
Take this into account and use the correct LED pattern for both cases.

This should significantly reduce power consumption in hibernation.
