Add the ITPROTECH MK series (8808) as a third pad family

Confirmed on the MK-09 (8808:660a, 9 keys): the vendor's .NET configurator
was decompiled for the wire format and every frame was then written to a
real pad and read back. Keys, media keys and multikey sequences are
supported; lighting from the command line.

The firmware acts on every other output report, so each report is sent
twice (as the vendor software does) and every write is verified by reading
the key back. The app now keeps one state file per pad and starts with a
known layout for a known USB id, and the editor asks the backend whether a
binding fits before offering to write it. The actions listener and the
udev rule cover every supported vendor.

"""
ITPROTECH MK series backend (USB vendor id 8808). Confirmed on the MK-09,
the 9 key pad, by reading and writing it; the wire format and the reasons
behind it are in itprotech_proto.py.
Three things about this firmware shape the code:
* One read command returns everything: every key's record, the lighting
mode and the custom colour. There are no layers and no knobs, and a
key is addressed by its number, 1 upwards, left to right, top to bottom.
* It acts on every other output report. Each report goes out twice, and
the pad does it exactly once (see REPEAT in the proto module).
* It can be read back, so a write is checked: after sending, the key is
read again and has to come back byte for byte as sent. A write that
doesn't is reported as such, and the control is marked unknown.
Run this module for the two things the GUI has no place for yet, lighting
and colour:
python3 -m macropad_gui.backends.itprotech show
python3 -m macropad_gui.backends.itprotech rgb "press: blue"
python3 -m macropad_gui.backends.itprotech colour ff8800
