Parse the sound bank container framing

A level's sound extent is two regions: an `SBlk` descriptor table and the
sample data that follows it. Four u32 at the head describe the layout, and
the invariant that establishes it is sblk_offset + sblk_size == daw_offset,
which holds on all 27 levels. That is what pins the field meanings; the
numbers alone are ambiguous about which of them is the offset.

DAW is a format tag inside the SBlk header, not a region signature. It
occurs exactly once in the entire extent, at sblk_offset + 12, naming the
sample format -- the sample data itself starts at daw_offset with no
signature at all, roughly 19 KB away on level 0. Reading it as a region
magic is the obvious reading and it is wrong.

daw_size never reaches the end of the file. The tail is positive on all 27
levels, 232 to 1,848 bytes, so the field describes less than the region
it names; the test asserts that direction rather than inventing a size
that fits.

523,720 SBlk and 37,649,008 DAW bytes across the 27 levels.

The sample format inside DAW is not decoded. It looks like VAG/ADPCM from
the nibble packing, and it has no bearing on drawing anything, so it stays
open rather than getting a half-answer.

//! The level's sound bank: container framing.
//!
//! Spec: `docs/formats/sound-bank.md`.
//!
//! A level's sound extent holds two regions. `SBlk` is a table of short sound
//! descriptors; the sample data follows at `daw_offset`. The framing is four
//! `u32` at the head, and the invariant that establishes it is simple:
//! **`sblk_offset + sblk_size == daw_offset` on every level**.
//!
//! `DAW` is a format tag inside the `SBlk` header, not a region signature. It
//! appears exactly once in the whole extent, at `sblk_offset + 12`, nowhere
//! near the sample data it names.
//!
//! The audio sample format inside `DAW` is not decoded here. That is a
//! separate body of work with no bearing on drawing anything, and the framing
//! is the part every other format's "what is in this level" questions depend
//! on.
