Add device debug endpoint and fix RTL-SDR detection issues

- Add /devices/debug endpoint for detailed SDR detection diagnostics
- Add kernel driver blacklisting to setup.sh for Debian/Ubuntu
- Blacklists dvb_usb_rtl28xxu, rtl2832, rtl2830, r820t modules
- Update docs to use correct venv command: sudo -E venv/bin/python
