qss-switch-api: reconstructing QNAP QSS switch control

qss-switch-api reconstructs access to the private REST interface of a QNAP QSS-managed switch from its web UI JavaScript. Its Python CLI logs in, reads port, PoE, sensor and LLDP telemetry, and can send explicit API calls; the documentation records bearer-token authentication and response fields.
