Introduce the RAK12035 sensor as an environmental telemetry sensor, including necessary calibration checks and default values. Update relevant files to integrate the sensor into the existing telemetry system. This hardware is not just one module, but a couple.. RAK12023 and RAK12035 is the component stack, the RAK12023 does not seem to matter much and allows for multiple RAK12035 devices to be used. Co-Authored-By: @Justin-Mann

…K: RAK19007/RAK4631/RAK12035VB/RAK12500 looks like soil monitor is working correctly, new environmental metrics are comming thru [new protos soil_moisture, soil_temperature] and GPS is working again with the RAK 12500. improvements could be made around the configuration of the monitor. next steps include updating the client(s) to react to, log and display the new proto metrics for soil temp and humidity.
…ext step just update the clients to know about soil_temperature and soil_humidity protos.

Improvements could be made around the calibration of the RAK12035 devices.. I currently have it checking to see if the device has been pre-calibrated (this is highly recommended) and if not I am simply using some 'reasonable' values. the pre-calibration can be done by following the instructions and using the sketch supplied here [https://github.com/RAKWireless/RAK12035_SoilMoisture?tab=readme-ov-file#usage].
My build is currently in a waterproof case WISBLOCK Unify Enclosure and is use as part of an irrigation monitoring network we use to know when it is time to make certain adjustments to our physical irrigation resources. Pretty simple. Wanted to use WISBLOCK stuff, wanted to use Meshtastic, built using resilient enclosures and kept the code pretty simple.. Wanted the GPS for recovery purposes.. Got lots of help from @fifieldt. Things work well now. I have not finalized yet so no URL, but you can check on Instructables.com to find more detailed info about this build running in the wild (will post soon).
