[feat](trx-rs): redesign SDR noise blanker with tuning profiles

The old IQ noise blanker tracked a fast running RMS and, on a
threshold crossing, replaced the sample with the last clean one. That
hard sample-and-hold is a step discontinuity: it splatters energy back
across the wideband passband, so after the narrow channel filter it
often sounded worse than the noise it removed — especially on SSB, CW
and digital. It also had no look-ahead (the impulse leading edge leaked
through before the fast RMS reacted), blanked only single samples, and
used a fixed 1/128 time constant that did not scale with capture rate.

Redesign the blanker around accepted wideband-NB practice and add
profiles matched to the interference source:

- Noise-floor tracker updated only from clean samples and frozen while
  blanking, so a burst cannot desensitise detection.
- Detection on instantaneous power vs threshold² × noise floor.
- Look-ahead delay line so the gate closes *before* the impulse reaches
  the output, removing the leading edge.
- Raised-cosine tapered gate (ramp 1→0→1) instead of a hard hold, which
  minimises blanker splatter.
- Windowed blanking that re-arms on every detected sample to cover the
  full width of a burst.
- All timings expressed in real time and converted to samples at the
  capture rate, so behaviour is consistent across SDR sample rates.

Profiles (`NoiseBlankerProfile`, default `spike`): spike, ignition,
powerline, broadband — each selects the blank window, look-ahead, taper
and floor time constant. `threshold` stays orthogonal as the
sensitivity knob.

Core/protocol:
- New `NoiseBlankerProfile` in trx-core (serde/parse/u8/TS), re-exported
  at the crate root; `RigFilterState.sdr_nb_profile` for state sync.
- `profile` added to `RigCommand`/`ClientCommand::SetSdrNoiseBlanker`,
  the trait method, and the command mapping.

Config: `[rig.sdr.noise_blanker] profile = "spike"` (regenerated
trx-rs.toml.example).

SDR backend: `NoiseBlanker` rewritten in the channel DSP; profile wired
through `SoapySdrConfig`, the runtime setter, and `filter_state()`.

Frontend: an "NB profile" selector in the SDR advanced controls
(POST /set_sdr_noise_blanker&profile=…), reflecting server state; the
profile rides along with the enable/threshold quick toggle so it is
preserved. Regenerated generated.ts and app.js.

Tests: profile u8/parse round-trips (trx-core); DSP tests for impulse
suppression with no leading-edge leak, strong-steady-signal
pass-through, and wider-profile-blanks-longer.

Docs: User-Manual NB section rewritten for the new algorithm and
profiles.
