Root cause (from the brewpi Pi's log): HendiCtrl.disconnect() only
caught HendiException (a protocol-level NAK), but a genuine unplug
fails deep inside pyserial itself - flushInput()/readline() raise
termios.error/OSError on the now-dead fd. That escaped disconnect()
uncaught (skipping self.ser.close() too), then kept propagating up
through every caller that invoked disconnect() from its own except
handler (HeaterHendi.process()/activate(), AHeater.open()'s
context-manager exit), all the way out of HeaterTask.on_process()'s
coroutine entirely. Nothing restarts a dead ATask, so the heater's
process()/duty-cycle loop was gone for the rest of the process's
life - reconnecting afterward changed `connected` back to True but
nothing was left running to ever call process() again.
Fixes:
- HendiCtrl.disconnect() now catches broadly and always closes the
port, matching Pololu1376.disconnect()'s already-correct pattern.
- HeaterTask/StirrerTask.on_process() gain an outer retry loop as a
safety net: even an unanticipated exception now logs, marks
disconnected, and re-enters rather than permanently killing the
task.
Verified by reproducing the exact failure (comm error raising a raw
OSError, not HendiException) against a fake device - the task now
survives and resumes process()ing once reconnected.

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.

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.

On KeyboardInterrupt, brewpi.py cancels all asyncio tasks (letting
HeaterTask's `with device.open()` finally block run), then calls
heater.close() as belt-and-suspenders before closing the event loop.
On shutdown HeaterHendi.activate(False) now sets the switch to 0 instead
of disabling remote control, so the Hendi stays in remote mode at 0 W
rather than dropping back to its local panel state. HendiCtrl.close()
does the same (setSwitch(0)) then closes the serial port.
