Mirror the same changes from hbc_mini.py: retry host resolution with
exponential backoff (5s→60s) instead of exiting on DNS failure, and add
mutually exclusive -4 / -6 flags to restrict connections to IPv4 or IPv6.
In hbc (main.py) the retry sleep is interruptible via the shutdown_event.
In hbc_mini.c signal handlers are moved before the resolution loop so
SIGINT/SIGTERM can break the retry during startup.

- Server sets request_update=1 in ACK when host.plugin_data is empty
- hbc: AsyncConnection.request_info_event; handle_ack sets it on request_update
- hbc: _info_plugin_refresh_loop clears InfoPlugin caches and resends on demand
- hbc_mini: same via _request_info event and _info_refresh_loop
- docs/USERS.md: document client-declared owner config key
- docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT.md: document server-initiated InfoPlugin refresh

error_received() no longer sets _dead=True; it just closes the transport
so the existing retry loop in heartbeat_sender (hbc) and sendto (hbc_mini)
reopens the connection on the next interval. This allows hbc to recover
when it starts before network connectivity is established.

Replace break-after-first-iteration with next(c for c in connections if
c.transport) so the message goes to the first connection that actually
has an open transport. Falls back to connections[0] if none are open
yet (sendto will attempt reopen), avoiding silent message loss when the
leading connection is still connecting.

Settings page: pass threshold_checker to http.start so the Threshold
Configurations section has data. Use threshold_checker's already-parsed
ThresholdConfig objects instead of re-parsing the raw nested YAML.
Named (non-default) configs now display only their explicit overrides
via threshold_raw_configs, not the full merged set with defaults.
hbc/hbc_mini: send boot and shutdown messages on first connection only
to avoid duplicate packets when multiple servers are configured.
Replace print("Daemonizing...") with logging.info so output goes to
syslog in daemon mode.

IPv4 connections are retried forever in heartbeat_sender if open() fails,
so a temporary network outage does not terminate the sender.
IPv6 connections that have never opened successfully are dropped after
IPV6_EARLY_FAIL_LIMIT (3) consecutive failures so that a network without
IPv6 support does not keep a dead sender running.
At startup all resolved connections are added to the list regardless of
whether the initial open() succeeds; the heartbeat_sender loop handles
the first real connection attempt.

Sets dorestart and triggers a clean shutdown; os.execv re-execs
the process with the original arguments after cleanup.

- scripts/hbc_mini.py: self-contained hbc with no external deps; uses
/proc for CPU/memory/network on Linux, df for disk, JSON config
- hbc + hbc_mini: mark connection _dead and stop sending on protocol error
- README: document hbc_mini usage, config, and plugin availability
- pyproject.toml: include hbc_mini.py in script-files

Server now sends a bare UPD command; client runs hb_install.sh to
reinstall from the package registry, then restarts. hb_install.sh
also copies itself alongside hbc on client installs.

After daemonize() redirects stderr to /dev/null, the existing StreamHandler
writes to /dev/null. logging.basicConfig() is a no-op when handlers are
already configured, so log messages are silently lost.
Replace the daemon block to:
1. Call daemonize() first
2. Explicitly remove existing handlers (pointing to /dev/null)
3. Add SysLogHandler pointing to /dev/log with fallback to UDP localhost:514
4. Log startup message to the new syslog handler
Removes redundant syslog.openlog() call which is no longer needed.

- Restructuring of the project directory into client and server components
- Renaming of modules and classes to better reflect their purpose and functionality
- Moving common utilities and configurations to a shared location
- Updating import statements to reflect the new structure
- Adding new documentation files for better clarity on various aspects of the project
- Removing deprecated or unused code to streamline the codebase
- Ensuring that all existing functionality is preserved and that the codebase remains functional after the refactoring.
