feat: BladeRF and HydraSDR RFOne support (closes #121, closes #203)

- BladeRF 2.0 micro / x40 / x115 detected via SoapyBladeRF (47 MHz–6 GHz,
  TX capable, gain 0–66 dB)
- HydraSDR RFOne detected via SoapyHydraSDR (24 MHz–1800 MHz, RX only,
  linear gain 0–21)
- Both follow the established SoapySDR command-builder pattern and support
  FM demod, ADS-B, ISM, AIS, and I/Q capture
- Bump version to 2.31.0
