Add inline comments throughout wiegand_formatutils and callers to explain
sentinel-bit stripping, HID transport framing, and the normalization contract
between input modes and downstream consumers.
Replace sim-only LF HID online tests with T55xx clone+readback flows and add
a full encode/decode roundtrip harness for hf mf encodehid, including sector
restore/cleanup and an optional --manual flag for external reader verification.
Extract the reusable Wiegand normalization and packing flow into
wiegand_formatutils and move existing callers onto that shared path.
This rebuilds the feat-wiegand branch as one focused commit against
upstream/master instead of trying to preserve the original commit chain.
Key changes:
- add shared helpers for plain binary, raw HID, new PACS, and formatted
Wiegand input
- centralize binary rendering used by cmdwiegand and PACS decode output
- update lf hid sim/clone to resolve one input mode through the shared
Wiegand layer and enforce the LF packed transport limit explicitly
- update hf mf encodehid to accept bin/raw/new/formatted Wiegand input
through the same normalization path
- preserve legacy raw HID transport behavior while clarifying the
packed-HID vs LF transport limits in error reporting
- add offline regression coverage for the new PACS decode output and add
interactive online targets for LF HID Wiegand and MIFARE encodehid
