Sony WH-CH720N: reconstructing headset control over RFCOMM

Sony WH-CH720N control is reconstructed as a Linux Python client for the headset's Bluetooth Classic RFCOMM service. The project documents its framed messages, checksum, ACK sequence rule and command map, then uses them for battery readings, six-band EQ and noise-cancelling or ambient-mode control.
