Subject: [PATCH] PM_K-1 0.0.15: MIDI Clock In (slave) - follow an external 24
 PPQN master

New config: MIDI_CLOCK_IN (default OFF) + MIDI_CLOCK_IN_TRANSPORT (default ON).

_feed_midi now intercepts 0xF8 (clock tick) -> smoothed bpm tracker (exponential, a=1/8;
rejects out-of-range intervals so noise can't drag bpm wild), 0xFA / 0xFB (Start /
Continue) -> start playback without echoing 0xFA on output (would feedback), 0xFC ->
stop. _slaved flag is True while ticks are arriving and decays after 1s of silence.

While slaved: per-master-step continuous ramp is OFF (the master's tempo wins) and
Clock Out emission is suppressed (no feedback loop if the user enables both).

Verified in the harness: target 60/120/180 BPM all track exactly after 60 ticks
(2.5 quarter notes of smoothing); 0xFA -> running, 0xFC -> stopped; slave flag
correctly decays.
