feat: SPE Expert amplifier control (serial/TCP) — OPERATE toggle + live status

Implements the SPE Application Programmer's Guide protocol: packets
0x55 0x55 0x55|CNT|DATA|CHK (sum%256), OPERATE key 0x0D (toggles STANDBY/OPERATE)
and STATUS request 0x90 whose 0xAA-framed reply is a 19-field CSV (mode, RX/TX,
band, power level, output W, SWR, V/I, temp, warnings, alarms). internal/spe
polls status ~1/s over USB serial (go.bug.st/serial, 8N1) or TCP (RS232-to-
Ethernet bridge) — same codec, different transport.

Wired via startPGXL (starts the SPE client for spe* types), bindings GetSPEStatus
/ SPESetOperate, and a live status card + OPERATE/STANDBY toggle in the Amplifier
settings panel. Only the two example-anchored commands are sent (safe); other
keystroke codes were ambiguous in the guide's table. Untested on hardware.

// Package spe drives the SPE Expert 1.3K-FA / 1.5K-FA / 2K-FA amplifiers over
// their proprietary serial protocol (SPE "Application Programmer's Guide" rev 1.1).
// The amp is reached either directly over USB (a virtual COM port) or over TCP via
// an RS232-to-Ethernet bridge — both are just an io.ReadWriteCloser to this code.
//
// Wire format (host → amp): 0x55 0x55 0x55 | CNT | DATA… | CHK
// CNT = number of DATA bytes, CHK = sum(DATA) mod 256.
// Status reply (amp → host): 0xAA 0xAA 0xAA | LEN | <LEN CSV bytes> | chk0 chk1 | CR LF
// LEN is 0x43 (67); the payload is 19 comma-separated fixed fields.
//
// This MVP implements the two commands anchored by worked examples in the guide:
// OPERATE (0x0D, toggles STANDBY↔OPERATE) and STATUS (0x90). Other keystroke codes
// exist but the guide's command table did not extract unambiguously, so they are
// left out rather than risk sending the wrong key to the amplifier.
