Added a new topic that the MQTT daemon will publish messages on. This is about immediate event-based messages (in contrast to periodic) with currently the only event being the "card swiped" event. It makes use of inotify to watch for changes to the
Latest_RFIDfile and immediately sending the card ID to the MQTT server.That way also cards that are not assigned to media or an action within Phoniebox will get relayed to the MQTT server allowing to e.g. control your smart home via the Phoniebox (e.g. having a "dim the lights" card to change lights while not interfering with the current playback).
It's an implementation of the idea presented in #1492 but directly integrated into the MQTT daemon rather than the RFID daemon.
