settings: MQTT clients support multiple topic scopes on one connection

A single client sometimes legitimately needs several unrelated topic trees
(e.g. hvac-backend needs both shellies/# for TRVs and hvac/mhi/# for MHI
aircon) — the previous model only supported one topic_scope per client,
forcing either an overbroad '#' grant or multiple broker logins for one app.

topic_scope is now newline/comma-parsed into a list; each pattern gets its
own ACL grant on the client's role (createDynsecClient loops per topic).
Stored newline-joined (still a single TEXT column, no migration). Added
PATCH /mqtt-clients/:id (additive: add_topic_scope) to grant a client more
topics later without revoking/recreating it — backed by a new
addTopicsToRole() in mqtt-dynsec.js.
