Major cleanup and documentation effort:

Code Cleanup:
- Remove 668+ lines of dead code from legacy SBS-1 implementation
- Delete unused packages: internal/config, internal/parser, internal/client/dump1090
- Remove broken test file internal/server/server_test.go
- Remove unused struct fields and imports

Code Quality:
- Format all Go code with gofmt
- Fix all go vet issues
- Fix staticcheck linting issues (error capitalization, unused fields)
- Clean up module dependencies with go mod tidy

Documentation:
- Add comprehensive godoc documentation to all packages
- Document CPR position decoding algorithm with mathematical details
- Document multi-source data fusion strategies
- Add function/method documentation with parameters and return values
- Document error handling and recovery strategies
- Add performance considerations and architectural decisions

README Updates:
- Update project structure to reflect assets/ organization
- Add new features: smart origin, Reset Map button, map controls
- Document origin configuration in config examples
- Add /api/origin endpoint to API documentation
- Update REST endpoints with /api/aircraft/{icao}

Analysis:
- Analyzed adsb-tools and go-adsb for potential improvements
- Confirmed current Beast implementation is production-ready
- Identified optional enhancements for future consideration

The codebase is now clean, well-documented, and follows Go best practices
with zero linting issues and comprehensive documentation throughout.

// Package beast provides Beast binary format parsing for ADS-B message streams.
//
// The Beast format is a binary protocol developed by FlightAware and used by
// dump1090, readsb, and other ADS-B software to stream real-time aircraft data
// over TCP connections (typically port 30005).
//
// Beast Format Structure:
// - Each message starts with escape byte 0x1A
// - Message type byte (0x31=Mode A/C, 0x32=Mode S Short, 0x33=Mode S Long)
// - 48-bit timestamp (12MHz clock ticks)
// - Signal level byte (RSSI)
// - Message payload (2, 7, or 14 bytes depending on type)
// - Escape sequences: 0x1A 0x1A represents literal 0x1A in data
//
// This package handles:
// - Binary message parsing and validation
// - Timestamp and signal strength extraction
// - Escape sequence processing
// - ICAO address and message type extraction
// - Continuous stream processing with error recovery
//
// The parser is designed to handle connection interruptions gracefully and
// can recover from malformed messages in the stream.
