TonePush: reconstructing Line 6 HX editing over USB

TonePush reconstructs the Line 6 HX USB editor protocol in reusable Rust crates, a CLI and a desktop editor. Captures from HX Edit and an HX Stomp informed packet framing, preset documents, backups, settings and impulse-response transfers. The same interface also supports StompStation PRO through its separately documented device protocol.
