* **New Features**
* Added public accessors for querying module/device start and ready state.
* **Refactor**
* Internal state moved to opaque internal objects; module/device/driver initializers now explicitly initialize internal pointers.
* Lifecycle handling updated to construct/destruct internal state and use accessors.
* **Tests**
* Tests updated to use public accessors and explicit construct/destruct lifecycle calls.
* **Chores**
* Test build/include paths and small metadata updated.

**Licenses**
Clarified licenses and copyrights better.

- Added explanation about licenses for past and future subprojects
- Added more details explanations with regards to the logo usage
- Copied licenses to subprojects to make it more explicit
- Added `tt::hal::Device` and functions (de)register devices and search for them.
- Refactored apps: `Power` and `Display` settings apps now use the device API to find devices.
- Implemented the new API for all existing drivers for all devices, including the simulator.
- Updated HAL Configuration to return `std::shared_ptr` instead of raw pointers.
- Added test project for headless tests and implemented tests for the new code.
