BigBodyCobain 19a8560a80 fix(gps-jamming): count nac_p=0 + lower thresholds so the layer actually fires
Three stacked filters meant the gps_jamming layer almost never lit up:

1. nac_p == 0 aircraft were dropped on the theory that "0 = old transponder."
   That's only half right — modern Mode-S Enhanced Surveillance transponders
   also fall back to nac_p=0 when they lose GPS lock entirely, which IS the
   jamming signature we want to catch. Discarding them was discarding the
   strongest signal. None (no field at all — typical for OpenSky-sourced
   records) is still skipped because absence-of-data isn't evidence.
2. GPS_JAMMING_MIN_AIRCRAFT was 5 per 1°x1° cell. Jamming hotspots
   (eastern Med, Russia/Ukraine border, Iran/Iraq) tend to have sparser
   traffic because pilots avoid them. Lowered to 3.
3. GPS_JAMMING_MIN_RATIO was 0.30. Combined with the (preserved) -1 noise
   cushion that made the effective bar high. Lowered to 0.20.

The 1-aircraft noise cushion is intact so a single quirky transponder
still can't flag a zone alone.

Also extracted the detector loop into a pure ``detect_gps_jamming_zones()``
function at module scope so it's testable in isolation (was previously
inlined inside ``_classify_and_publish``). The public signature accepts
threshold overrides for ad-hoc re-tuning without code edits.

16 new tests cover nac_p=0 inclusion, None-skip preservation, MIN_AIRCRAFT
lowering, MIN_RATIO lowering, noise cushion preservation, constant pinning,
override behavior, lon/lng key compatibility, and robustness to empty/None
inputs.

"""GPS jamming detection — nac_p=0 counted, lowered thresholds.
Background
----------
Pre-fix, the detector had three stacked filters that together meant the
``gps_jamming`` layer almost never lit up:
1. ``nac_p == 0`` aircraft were dropped on the theory that "0 = old
transponder." But modern Mode-S Enhanced Surveillance transponders
also fall back to ``nac_p == 0`` when they lose GPS lock entirely —
which is *exactly* the jamming signature we want to catch.
2. ``GPS_JAMMING_MIN_AIRCRAFT = 5`` per 1°x1° cell.
3. ``GPS_JAMMING_MIN_RATIO = 0.30`` adjusted ratio.
Combined with the existing ``-1`` noise cushion (``adjusted = degraded - 1``)
the bar to clear required dense, busy airspace — but jamming hotspots
(eastern Med, eastern Ukraine, Iran/Iraq) tend to have sparser traffic
precisely because pilots avoid them.
These tests pin the new behavior:
* ``nac_p == 0`` is now counted as degraded.
* ``nac_p == None`` (no field — typical for OpenSky records) is still
skipped — absence isn't evidence.
* Thresholds lowered to 3 aircraft / 0.20 ratio.
* Public function signature accepts overrides so callers / future
operators can re-tune without code edits.
