Heater and Stirrer can be real serial hardware (hendi, Pololu1376), but
there was no connection concept at all - the constructors opened the
port and crashed the whole server if the device was missing, with no
way to see connection status or firmware version and no way to
reconnect without a restart.
Adds an observable Connectable mixin (components/connectable.py) shared
by AHeater/AStirrer; real devices defer opening the serial port to an
explicit connect(), auto-connect on server startup, and surface
Connected/FirmwareVersion/Simulated plus manual Connect/Disconnect over
the web GUI. Heating/stirring and Sud Start are all gated on connection
state, and a disconnect mid-brew force-stops the run via the same path
as a manual Stop.

HendiCtrl.cmd() previously raised a bare "Communication error" for any
non-OK response, discarding the firmware's actual reply. It now
includes the raw echo/answer bytes, and --debug prints every
request/response. Using this, the rejected R1 during lockout turned
out to be an explicit "ERR:Invalid state" reply, not a timeout.
Also flashed and retested v1.16: plain reconnect (no --reset) now
recovers from the lockout reliably (4/4 trials), fixing the
intermittent behavior seen on v1.15.

--trigger-error-state deliberately reproduces the Hendi's
ungraceful-disconnect lockout (remoteEnable(True) without a matching
disable) so it can be tested on demand. --reset toggles the reset
line, but per hardware testing it does NOT clear that lockout - only
the device's physical knob/power cycle does.

hendiCtrl.py is now import-only. The new CLI app exposes serial
port/baudrate, version/capability info, converter test, heater test,
and firmware update as separate flags, instead of one fixed script.
