Merge the bridge and a home-screen interface into one app

The HEOS app is unpleasant to use for the four things that actually get
done in this house, so this is those four things on one screen: volume
for the Home 400 and the Living Room pair, joining either to the AVR,
splitting them off again, and picking the AVR's input.

The bridge's logic moves in mostly intact, split into a HEOS client, an
AVR client and a controller, with two grouping bugs fixed on the way:

  * Merging a room into the AVR sent only the pair's leader pid, which
    left the second Home 200 behind. Group targets now expand to every
    member pid, and unmerging re-forms the pair rather than leaving two
    lone speakers. The members are learned while the pair is visible and
    remembered in members.json so a restart can still rebuild it.

  * Volume for the pair used its gid, which stops existing the moment it
    joins the AVR's group. It now falls back to the member players.

Both sockets are kept open rather than reconnecting per command, which
is what made every button press feel slow; the AVR connection doubles as
a listener, so input changes made with the physical remote show up too.

The original query-string endpoints still answer, so anything already
pointed at the bridge keeps working.

"""The actual behaviour of the panel, on top of the two protocol clients.
The interesting part is grouping. A HEOS "In-Room Group" (your pair of
Home 200s) is addressed by a gid and behaves like one speaker -- until
you merge it into the AVR's group, at which point that gid stops
existing and its two players are just two members of the AVR's group.
Two consequences drive most of the code below:
* Merging must send EVERY member pid of the pair, not just its leader,
or the second Home 200 gets left behind.
* Unmerging must re-issue set_group with the pair's own pids to put
the pair back together, so we have to remember what they were.
