Fix for #21
Even though hc2mqtt was running, and showed active log lines, I stopped receiving the messages sometimes in the MQTT server and subscribed processes.
Adding client.loop_forever() will auto-reconnect to the mqtt server in case of network loss / hickups. Seems to help for my setup.

And thanks for the great hack/tool! Super!
I was using the cloud API to monitor washing-machine progress, but that's quite a flaky setup, loosing access/tokens every now and again if their cloud is offline for a bit. This direct connection is much better! ;-)
