leetcrypt 9f73595b20 feat: RTL_433 protocol database import - iteration 1/5
- Expanded protocol database from 18 → 299 signatures (16.6x increase)
- Imported 281 protocols from RTL_433 open-source database (286 total devices)
- Created automated import script: scripts/import_rtl433_protocols.py
- Generated rtl433_protocols_imported.py with timing/frequency/modulation data
- Updated protocol_database.py to include RTL433_PROTOCOLS
- All 26 tests passing

Breakdown by category:
  - Weather: 116 protocols
  - Sensors: 36 protocols
  - TPMS: 25 protocols
  - Security: 23 protocols
  - Home Automation: 18 protocols
  - Other: 50+ protocols

Frequency coverage:
  - 433.92 MHz: 248 protocols
  - 315.00 MHz: 32 protocols
  - 915.00 MHz: 1 protocol

This provides comprehensive coverage of Sub-GHz IoT devices for accurate
identification from raw RF captures.
