Plain-language "What this means" box

The console summary now ends with a "What this means" box that reads the
session for someone who isn't a USB/kernel specialist:

  • an overall verdict keyed to severity — from "Treat this cable as hostile
    hardware"
    down to "CableProbe did not observe anything notable", always with
    the reminder that a clean result is "nothing happened this time", not
    "nothing can happen"
  • one plain sentence per thing it saw: a BadUSB keyboard, network redirection,
    a storage payload, a hidden serial channel, covert audio/video, the cable's
    own Wi-Fi, PCIe/DMA, an unexpected driver, a hidden hub, …
  • a heads-up when something didn't go away after you unplugged the cable

Shows as a coloured box in the terminal, and as a plain === WHAT THIS MEANS ===
block under -v, when rich is unavailable, and in cableprobe report.
