This series moves the SteelSeries Arctis headset support out of
hid-steelseries.c into its own module, reworks it around a per-model
device_info table, hardens the battery power-supply lifetime, adds an
asynchronous status interface, and finally adds support for the Arctis
Nova 5X and Nova 7 families. After the split, hid-steelseries.c is left
handling only the SRW-S1 racing wheel.

Changes since v5:
- Nova: rename the Gen2-only parse function and device_info to
steelseries_arctis_nova_{parse_status,info} now that they are also
used by the Nova 5X and the 2026 refresh, not just Gen2.
- Nova: add device IDs and a device_info for the original (pre-Gen2)
Arctis Nova 7 family. It answers the same 0xb0/0xb7/0xb9/0xbb status
opcodes on the same interfaces as Gen2, but reports battery capacity
as a discrete 0-4 level rather than a raw percentage, so it gets its
own parse function that maps the level through
steelseries_map_capacity() instead of using it directly.
- Nova: add the Arctis Nova 5X, which shares the Gen2/2026 protocol.
- hid-ids.h: fix a whitespace-only bug where the new Nova 5X macro was
space-aligned instead of tab-aligned.
- Rebased on current master.

The Nova 5X protocol was verified against hardware by
sp4m.an.joker@xxxxxxxxx, and the original Nova 7 protocol was verified
against hardware by colin@xxxxxxxxx. Thanks to both for testing. I
previously ommited other devices in the v4 patch series due to being
unable to verify.
