Fixes #2433: RNGFND_TYPE=26 was added for this sensor but never got a wiki page, matching the ardupilot#13249 report. The RNGFND_TYPE parameter description has since been fixed on the firmware side (RNGFND_TYPE=26 now shows "LanbaoPSK-CM8JL65-CC5" instead of blank), but the setup page itself was still missing.

Content verified against libraries/AP_RangeFinder/AP_RangeFinder_Lanbao.cpp: serial/UART only, always 115200 baud (set automatically by the driver), and critically the sensor has no way to report "out of range" so the driver hard-caps accepted readings at 6m -- documented as a warning since setting RNGFND1_MAX higher would have no effect.

Range/dimensions/weight and the Seeed Studio product link (now discontinued/out of stock, noted as such) came from PX4's own documentation page for this sensor, cross-checked against the Seeed Studio listing directly.

Added to the Unidirectional Rangefinders list on
common-rangefinder-landingpage.rst.
