feat(kbioscience): add KBioscience KUBE thermal plate sealer driver

[rickwierenga]

Adds a driver for the KBioscience KUBE thermal plate sealer, reverse-engineered from the Thermo Momentum device DLL (Thermo.Automation.Devices.Instruments.KBioscience.KUBE.dll).

Device

• Microplate heat sealer, RS-232 ASCII protocol: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no handshake, \r terminator.
• The device echoes the command in front of its reply (e.g. A160 → A160ok), which is stripped before parsing. A reply containing syntax means the command was rejected.

API

Single plain async class KBioscienceKUBE (following the same shape as the KBiosystemsUltrasealEPRO driver in #1170):

• setup() / stop()
• seal(temperature, duration, preset=SealPreset.USER_DEFINED, idle_temperature) — seals by user-defined time/temperature or by one of the six presets stored on the instrument
• set_temperature, set_sealing_time, set_seal_preset, set_plate_orientation, clear_error_window
• request_status, request_error_code, request_sealing_temperature, request_sealing_time, request_temperature, request_firmware_version, request_product_name
• wait_for_idle, wait_for_sealing_temperature
• Status is exposed as a KUBEStatus IntFlag; error codes decode to messages via DEVICE_ERRORS.

At setup the driver performs the vendor's ALPS300-compatibility check: a unit configured for ALPS Compatibility speaks the older, incompatible protocol and is rejected with instructions to disable it in the instrument menu.

Testing

• ruff check and ruff format --check: clean
• mypy: no errors in the new module
• Fake-serial test confirming exact wire bytes (A160, B25, P3, X1/X2), echo-strip decoding of readers, the error-code→message path, and the ALPS300 probe

Warning

This driver has not been tested against hardware. A warning is emitted at setup(); please open a follow-up PR to remove it once verified on a real KUBE.
