mchose-linux: MCHOSE HID settings protocol and Linux client

mchose-linux reconstructs the MCHOSE mouse settings protocol and implements Linux CLI and GUI clients for it. Its documentation traces HID feature-report commands and configuration fields from the M HUB web bundle and an L7 Pro mouse. The clients read and change DPI, polling rate, lift-off distance and other stored settings.
