tapo-local: reconstructing local control of the Tapo P110

tapo-local implements local control of the TP-Link Tapo P110 smart plug using TPAP communication recovered from the Tapo Android app. Python clients provision the plug over BLE, then use Wi-Fi sessions with SPAKE2+ and AES-128-CCM for relay control, power readings and automation.
