SP656E CLI: a BanlanX Bluetooth lighting client

SP656E CLI implements a Bluetooth Low Energy client for SP656E and SP638E lighting controllers using the documented BanlanX 0x53 command format. Its Python interface scans devices, reads status and sends power, color, brightness, effect and raw commands; the protocol basis is credited to earlier community research.
