Scanner architecture: 12 processes → 2, tiered scan, Linux I2C fix (v3.1.5)

Performance architecture rewrite of the Windows hardware scanner:

BEFORE: 12 separate PowerShell processes (7 in batch 1, 5 in batch 2),
each spawning a new .NET/CIM runtime. On a cold-cache HDD laptop with 2
cores, this produced ~15-25s of cumulative process startup overhead.

AFTER: 2 PowerShell processes total:
- Tier 1 (1 process, 25s timeout): All core identity data — CPU name/vendor/cores,
  GPU name/PNPDeviceID/VideoProcessor, board manufacturer/product, chassis types,
  system manufacturer/model, battery presence. Returns a single JSON blob.
- Tier 2 (1 process, 20s timeout): All PnP enrichment — audio, network, HID devices
  fetched with a single Win32_PnPEntity query using combined PNPClass filter.

Both tiers run in parallel. If Tier 2 fails, Tier 1 still produces a complete
machine profile with correct CPU/GPU/laptop/generation classification.

Estimated wall-time reduction on cold-cache HDD: ~15-25s → ~8-12s for Tier 1
(single CIM runtime startup instead of 7 competing ones).

Bug fix — C6 from BUGHUNTERCLAUDE.md: Linux I2C over-detection
Previously, ALL /sys/bus/i2c/devices entries were flagged as I2C input (including
backlight controllers, sensors, VRMs). Now only HID-compatible device names
(ELAN, SYNA, ALPS, ATML, WCOM, i2c-hid, ACPI0C50) are flagged.

7 new tests: tiered architecture validation, Tier 1/Tier 2 independence,
Linux I2C HID pattern filtering, query consolidation verification.
