shawn 659e53766a fix(bass-presets): move factory presets to channel subdirs + per-channel install

Root cause: factory presets for bass (banks 17-20) sat in the root
factory dir alongside guitar presets, and install_factory_presets()
used rglob() which picked up ALL presets into the GUITAR channel.

Changes:
- Move bank_17-20 from presets/factory/ → presets/factory/bass/
  (matching the existing keys/, vocals/, backing_tracks/ layout)
- Fix install_factory_presets() to scan channel-specific subdirectory:
  GUITAR scans root bank_* dirs, all others scan <channel>/bank_*
- Fix main.py to iterate over all 5 channels when installing factory
  presets (was only installing into GUITAR)
- Import Channel enum in main.py

Tests: 56/56 preset manager tests pass. Integration verified:
- GUITAR: 68 presets (banks 0-16)
- BASS: 16 presets (banks 17-20, SansAmp/Darkglass/Ampeg SVT)
- KEYS: 12 presets (banks 21-23)
- VOCALS: 12 presets (banks 24-26)
- BACKING_TRACKS: 12 presets (banks 27-29)

10 bass IRs already available at ~/.pedal/irs/bass-*.wav.

Part 4: Chain Architecture

Bass → NAM Model (preamp/amp) → Cab IR (bass-specific) → Output

Pedal captures (SansAmp, Darkglass B3K, Tone Hammer) need a bass cab IR after them
Amp head captures (SVT-CL, GK 800) also need a bass cab IR
Full rig captures already include cab — skip IR
Compression should be before the NAM model (not modeled by NAM)
All captures are from Tone3000 — download URLs in full report

No BDDI v2 / No SVT-VR

BDDI v2 NOT found; v1 is close (different headroom/EQ curve)
SVT-VR NOT found; SVT-CL is equivalent (same circuit, different era)
