New Settings > General > "Developer mode" checkbox (default on, so
this repo's simulate-by-default workflow is unaffected out of the box)
persisted through the existing core/app_settings.py load/save
functions. Exposed to code that can't easily receive the settings dict
via core.app_settings.is_developer_mode()/set_developer_mode(), a
small in-memory cache MainWindow keeps in sync whenever settings are
loaded or applied.
Debug window (ui/windows/debug_window.py): minimal first pass per the
plan — a live console. core/debug_log.py tees stdout/stderr into a
ring buffer + Qt signal (installed once in main.py, before anything
prints), so the window shows everything printed since app start,
including from background poll threads, not just what's printed while
it happens to be open. Its toolbar button is hidden unless developer
mode is on.
Simulate gating: every device's Simulation Mode checkbox/dropdown is
now hidden when developer mode is off — ui/add_device_dialog.py (also
covers the motion_capture camera panel, which shares this same
checkbox rather than having its own), and the per-device config
widgets in analog_input.py, arduino_device.py, digital_io.py,
nidaqmx_device.py, serial_device.py. Hiding rather than force-clearing
an already-simulating device's state — an existing simulated device
keeps working if developer mode is turned off later; the option is
just not offered again until it's back on.

- Unified device scanner at top (serial ports, NI devices, cameras)
replaces per-panel scan groups; clicking pre-fills port/type
- Port, baud rate, NI Device, and simulation toggle moved into
Available Devices section; shown/hidden by device type
- Device type, ID, and Protocol/Format grouped under Configuration
- Panel order: Serial/UART → Arduino → NI-DAQ (Serial first)
- Add button always enabled; validation on press shows error popup
with focus jump to the offending field
- CameraPanel loses sim_chk (sim state set by dialog via set_simulate)
