rtchair: local control of the Rotai RT7709S massage chair

rtchair reconstructs local control of the Rotai RT7709S massage chair from its communication protocol. An OpenWrt router redirects the chair's MQTT connection to a local broker, while a CLI and Home Assistant integration expose controls and timed massage programs.
