Add Experiments section — 14 RF science experiments across DVB and SDR

Browse source 
New section documents what you can do with the positioner beyond satellite TV:

On-board DVB (7 experiments, ready to test):
- Solar radio monitoring, rain fade radiometry, geostationary arc census,
  RFI mapping, antenna pattern measurement, DVB signal intelligence,
  differential radiometry

External SDR (7 experiments, planned):
- Hydrogen line (1420 MHz), NOAA HRPT (1.7 GHz), EME monitoring (1296 MHz),
  GPS/GNSS (1575 MHz), Iridium (1626 MHz), directional ADS-B (1090 MHz),
  Inmarsat L-band (~1.5 GHz)

Also adds shared SDR hardware setup page (feeds, LNAs, bias tee safety,
BladeRF/RTL-SDR specs), overview with status table, Experiments card on
homepage, and sidebar with nested DVB/SDR groups.
