Description
This PR adds the ability to embed NAM model files (.nam) and impulse response files (.wav) directly into DAW session/project files, making sessions fully portable and self-contained.

Windows (Validated ✅)
macOS (Limited Testing⚠️ )
Note: Local macOS testing was not possible due to environmental constraints:
The embedding code itself is platform-independent and uses standard C++ file I/O. The implementation should work on macOS, but comprehensive validation via CI is recommended.
