Subject: [PATCH] fix(data): add Waves V17 to the 54 entries the refresh missed
 (AUREO-1286)

API 550, GTR3, VEQ3, the OneKnob line and 50 more listed 16.7.33 alone or
no version at all, so Studio read an installed 16.7.33 as current. Each
product's waves.com page is live and lists V17, and Waves' 2026-06-23
release note updates every plugin to V17, so none of the 54 is a product
dropped in V17.

Written through the identifier writer from a reviewed TSV committed under
docs/reviews/, which also records why the September baseline yields no
identifier rows: it carries aggregates only, and the row-level unmatched
events are in no repo.

Fixes AUREO-1286
Part of AUREO-1350
