[Feature Request] Panic Button #1951

Description

@Kleptoid

It would be useful to have MeshCore devices with user buttons (eg. WizMesh Tag) be able to be configured to have the button act as a "Panic Button". When the panic button feature is enabled and the button is pressed a pre-configured message is sent to a similarly pre-configured list of emergency contacts, and the GPS is turned on if it is not already on.

I'm involved in setting up a MeshCore network in a remote rural area as part of our resilience/disaster preparedness plan. We have a significant number of vulnerable older people, some of whom have dementia and can't use a smartphone. This feature would be a killer app, and go a long way to drive community adoption.
