N2Elite-ng: reconstructing N2 Elite dongle control

N2Elite-ng reconstructs control of the N2 Elite / Amiiqo USB dongle in a Python CLI and Tkinter GUI. Its protocol reference describes the CP2102 serial bridge to an MFRC522 NFC frontend, while the client reads NTAG215 tags and manages banks on an unlocked N2 disc.
