fix spelling errors

* Regen protobufs

* Ensure mute state is set when node is ignored

* Added mechanism for toggling muted state

* Implement the ability to mute specific nodes

* Switch boolean value for bitmask

* Correctly toggle bitfield position 2 on-change to mute state

* Dont push submodule refs

* Log correct info

* Trunk fmt

* Update protobuf ref to master branch of base

* Update src/modules/ExternalNotificationModule.cpp
