[FEAT] add "Show Packet Monitor" for User

[sisari]

Hi Yeraze,

Please add " Show Packet Monitor" for User as:

• checkbox for user permissions (admin only)
• checkbox in the main User dashboard (user controllable)

Thank you !

I'm a bit hesitant to do this, becuse exposing the Packet Monitor to any account is effectively granting them REad permissions to everything (DM's, Channels, Data, etc).

Why this ? Packet monitor shows in clear only main channels messages , rest shows as ENCRYPTED.
Beside Packet Monitor should be allowed/restricted only to specific users.
Also Anonymous should have a checkbox to enable/disable this.
Its useful to debug is someone's packet are reaching my Meshmonitor node.

Any packet your node can decrypt will appear thre, which includes Direct Messages and such.. Even messages from Virtual Channels or interactions with Virtual node will appear there.

I guess I could just add a clear warning for it, but it pretty well exposes Everything.

Of course need to prevent displaying Direct Messages these are admin only.
We dont use any virtual nodes over here :)
Primary and Secondary channels are always considered as public/unencrypted (AQ==)
We have several Potato Mesh sites here doing exactly this but messages are slow (60s min refresh time).
