[Feature Request]: Add the absolute amount of received Meshtastic packets to telemetry #4563

NRF52, ESP32, RP2040, Linux Native, other

Description

Problem: It's at the moment it's impossible to determine the utilization of a Router remotely. Without these data we cannot determine the health of the HF chain nor if the setup/position of the entire device can be improved.

Right now following data can be gathered using the Python script:

~$ /home/had/.local/bin/meshtastic --host 192.x.x.x --request-telemetry --dest \!279xxxx
Connected to radio
Sending telemetry request to !279xxxx on channelIndex:0 (this could take a while)
Telemetry received:
Battery level: 81.00%
Voltage: 4.00 V
Total channel utilization: 42.40%
Transmit air utilization: 13.42%
Uptime: 109625 s

It would be great to have an additional absolute counter of received, valid Meshtastic packets.

Example:

Received Packets: 20000

On the other side "Battery level" and "Voltage" is IMHO redundant.
