[183-thorlabs-k10crx-devices] Created a base class for Thorlabs K10CRx devices, with K10RC1 now deriving from the base class. Added also K10CR2 device driver. Imports and API remain the same for K10CR1. Modified and added unit-tests as necessary.

 ### Added
 - `run` method in `QMI_Context` class to accommodate for `threading.Thread` changes in Python 3.14.
 - `standard-xdrlib` from "dead batteries" as a dependency to fix issues coming from removal of `xdrlib` from standard library.
+- Base class for Thorlabs K10CRx instruments in qmi.instruments.thorlabs.k10crx module.
+- Driver for Thorlabs K10RC2 instrument. It is based on the new base class for K10CRx instruments.
 
 ### Changed
+- Changed Thorlabs K10CR1 to derive from new base class for K10CRx instruments.
 
 ### Fixed
 - Moving of `_snicaddr` in psutil package v2.7 from `_common` to `_ntuples` module, which caused an error with `qmi_proc`.
 
 ### Removed
 - Removed `xdrlib-py` import for Python 3.13 version, where it was needed for python-vxi11 package.
+- Removed deprecated `get_velocity_params` function in Thorlabs K10CRx driver, and the respective `VelocityParams` dataclass in the APT protocol.
