    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/93915f2047473b600a068628
    Added Files:
    exec/broker.js
    Log Message:
    Add a pure-JS MQTT broker

    This is not nearly ready for full-time yet, but it seems to mostly
    limp along fine... there's some issues with the callbacks and such,
    and the TLS support isn't currently usable by Synchronet.

    Worth committing though.

    After receiving all packet data, receive the next packet.

    This appears to be why it was hanging. :D

    Log Message:
    More fixes... it seems broadly usefulish now

    - Increment bytes required for every extra VBI byte we learn about
    - If sock is null, don't look at sock.connection
    - Set sock to null after close
    - Don't read from sock unless we need some bytes
    - If we already have some bytes, parse them

    There's a couple hacks in here that should be refactored though.

    Do some of that refactor

    Add a nextPacket() method that will get the next packet
    Add a Connection.parseBytes() method to consume the rx_buf
    Simplify Packet.newBytes() to only do socket recv()
    Clear RX buffer when closing socket

    Add some documentation about how the script works.

    As always when writing documentation, fix things that aren't quite
    right... we now schedule nextPacket, but run each packet to
    completion as long as we have all the bytes.

    Log Message:
    Support uid/pw only auth

    There are now two ways to authenticate with the broker:
    1) TLS PSK with a sysop account, and set the password field at the
    MQTT level to the system password (user field, if present is
    ignored). This is the prefered method as it provides mutual
    authentication and you simply can't steal credentials with MITM.
    2) Synchronet TLS certificate, sysop username and the users password
    followed by a colon, followed by the system password. The server
    authentication will now depend on the appropriate trust chain in
    the client. If using a Let's Encrypt certificate for example,
    you can' securely connect to localhost with this method.

    tools and libraries tend to allow TLS-PSK with password at the MQTT
    level, many GUI tools do not allow TLS-PSK.
