Description
When encountering an error on a remote Roku device, sometimes the errors contain codes like &h02. We should decode those errors to provide more benefit to end users. Here's a forum post listing what many of those error codes are:
https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?t=33193#p211138
I envision we would scan all roku output (or at least the error output) and replace things like &h02 with &h02 (ERR_SYNTAX).
This might be better implemented in roku-debug, but leaving the issue here for now until we work out the details.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how this extension currently receives and displays Roku output, then compare the proposed mappings in the linked Roku forum post. Check whether the behavior belongs here or in roku-debug. Done means recognized codes such as \u0026h02 are shown with their decoded names without disrupting other Roku output.
