MechControl: replacing Uniwill laptop control through EC research

MechControl replaces the OEM Control Center on Uniwill-built MECHREVO, XMG and Eluktronics laptops with a native Windows application. It uses recovered embedded-controller registers, encodings and write sequences to manage CPU and GPU power, fans, battery modes and lighting. The author reports hardware testing on one MECHREVO IDY_7Y board; other model profiles derive from OEM data.
