codec-re: 00 NN is RLE; full Tran segment-0 decode (4 of 5 events)

User uploaded a Vert-heavy event (JQ0) and a Mic-heavy event (V70).
Those two were exactly what was needed to crack the next piece:

- 00 NN block = run-length-encoded zero deltas in the current channel.
  Append NN copies of the current cumulative value (no change).
- find_data_start now recognizes 00 NN as a valid first tag (some events
  begin with a leading 00 NN RLE block).
- decode_tran_initial now decodes the FULL segment 0 (not just the first
  data block).

Results across 5 fixture events:
  - M529LL1A.SP0 (loud-all-channels)  : 510 / 510  ✓
  - M529LL1L.JQ0 (Vert-heavy)         : 510 / 510  ✓
  - M529LL1L.V70 (Mic-heavy)          : 510 / 510  ✓
  - M529LL1A.SV0 (loud-from-start)    :  58 /  58  ✓
  - M529LL1A.SS0 (loud-from-start)    :  42 / 502  (stops at first 30 04)

The 30 04 block (only seen in loud-from-start events) hasn't been
decoded yet — likely a channel-switch marker for the high-amplitude
regime.

Also discovered: segment header (40 02) payload bytes [0:2] = T_delta
at first sample of new segment, [6:8] = byte length to next segment.
Multi-segment Tran decoding still diverges after sample 512 because
the per-segment channel ordering after the header is unknown.

Tests: 40 pass (up from 36).
