- Add Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration packages for JSON configuration support
- Create AppConfig.cs with configuration model and placeholder resolution
- Create HardwareId.cs for unique board identifier detection (machine-id, DMI UUID, MAC, hostname)
- Add appsettings.json with configurable MQTT settings and application settings
- Update MQTTControl.cs to use configuration instead of hardcoded values
- Update Program.cs to load configuration and resolve {} placeholders
- Support {} placeholder in topic strings for board-specific topics
- Default topics match original hardcoded values (DotnetMQTT/Test/in and /out)
- Add comments in appsettings.json explaining board ID placeholder usage
- Auto-generate MQTT client ID from hardware ID if not configured
