Brings the protos to protobufs master 4c80682 ahead of the next tag, so a consumer can use what landed after v2.8.2: ClientNotification.type, DeviceMetadata.ble_address and bootloader_version, and the field metadata tags. meshtastic-mcp takes it until a release carries them.

Regenerated with bin/regen-protobufs.sh's steps (nanopb 0.4.8 protoc, mypy-protobuf 3.6.0 from the lock). pytest -m unit passes (386 passed, 2 skipped), and mypy reports the same 14 errors as master, all outside the generated code.
