James Smith 5ed9674e1f Add multi-SDR hardware support (LimeSDR, HackRF) and setup script
- Add SDR hardware abstraction layer (utils/sdr/) with support for:
  - RTL-SDR (existing, using native rtl_* tools)
  - LimeSDR (via SoapySDR)
  - HackRF (via SoapySDR)
- Add hardware type selector to UI with capabilities display
- Add automatic device detection across all supported hardware
- Add hardware-specific parameter validation (frequency/gain ranges)
- Add setup.sh script for automated dependency installation
- Update README with multi-SDR docs, installation guide, troubleshooting
- Add SoapySDR/LimeSDR/HackRF to dependency definitions
- Fix dump1090 detection for Homebrew on Apple Silicon Macs
- Remove defunct NOAA-15/18/19 satellites, add NOAA-21
