Is your feature request related to a problem?

In https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/issues/3163, it was noted that -DPPM_UNIT_US did not work on colorlcd, i.e. changing display and inputs from % to us, as well as asking if it could be made so that it was not something required a custom build. https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/pull/3993 addressed the latter point, but the "PPM Units" runtime entry only gives options of 0.0 and 0.-- on colorlcd - which correctly reflects the units supported on the colorlcd UI at present.

Describe the solution you'd like

That a third option be added, which allows for units to be displayed as us where they are currently shown only as %, as well as for relevant edit fields to change from % to us input. i.e. so it matches the B&W level of support.

Describe alternatives you've considered

FWIW - all three option are available in Companion, and work correctly. But after download to radio (Frsky X10S-E Access) all revert to the default. As noted "us" option is not listed on the radio.

same issue on 2.9.4 (self-compiled with -DPPM_UNIT_US) too. v2.10.0 has PPM Unit US option in the radio. Maybe flash it and try.

us units was never fully implemented on colorlcd anyway as part of the colorlcd rewrite from opentx 2.4, but https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/pull/4987 for colorlcd side should finally implement that.
