This commit adds support for the FLEX protocol for pagers, using the public-domain, single-header library 'tinyflex'. The tinyflex library currently supports: - 2-FSK modulation at 1600bps - Short and long capcodes - Alphanumeric messages up to 248 characters The FLEX protocol is a streaming protocol, meaning it requires a continuous data stream to maintain synchronization with the pager. However, it is possible to force re-synchronization by sending a preliminary ERS (Emergency Re-synchronization). This allows messages to be delivered even if the pager is not actively synchronized with a transmitter. This enables behavior similar to the already-supported POCSAG protocol in rpitx. Successfully tested on: Raspberry Pi 1B+ (Raspbian 10) + Motorola Advisor Elite. Signed-off-by: Davidson Francis <davidsondfgl@gmail.com>
