[FEAT] Reverse direction of neighbor arrows and enhance visibility of the arrow #2456

Hi, would it be possible to reverse the direction of the neighbor arrows ?
Neighbors are nodes I can see directly. This means that I've received a direct packet from them with a given signal strength. It doesn't mean packets can be sent toward them.

The current direction of the arrow seems to indicates who sees whom, but this is confusing when combined with the signal strength size of the segment, because the strength is from the neighbor, and thus related to an arrow in the opposite direction.
So, to better understand possible flows between neighbors, it would be better to have the arrow in the direction of the possible communication, meaning : communication is directly possible between these two nodes, in that direction and with that signal strength.
The direction of the arrow should also be changed in the popup when we click on the neighbor segment.

Also, it seems the arrow is positioned in the middle of the path between two nodes.
When we zoom, that arrow might disappear.
Would it be possible to have that arrow displayed in the middle of the portion of the displayed segment ?
Or any other manner allowing us to see the direction at any zoom level (when lines visible).
