ranger 224fccd6c4 feat(0.6.3): discreet "buy me a coffee" support link
Tiny footer line inside the Updates panel on Settings + matching line
at the bottom of the Credits + thanks card on About. Pulled from a
single RADIO_SUPPORT_URL constant so both stay in sync. Conditional
render — if the constant is empty, the link is silently hidden, so
forks can strip funding with one line.

Design intent: muted (12px, admin-theme-coloured, subtle top divider).
Reads as housekeeping not a sales pitch — no yellow BMC brand chrome.
Dark-theme divider override so it stays subtle on the dark surface.

Files: radio.php (version, RADIO_SUPPORT_URL constant default
https://buymeacoffee.com/davidtkeane), inc/updater.php (link in
Updates panel), inc/about.php (link in Credits + thanks card; rotate
v0.6.3 → latest, v0.6.2 → earlier list), assets/css/radio.css
(.radio-support-link + dark-theme override), CHANGELOG.md.
