Feature request: mqtt publishing of detections

[tomlut]

Could you please consider publishing bird detections to an mqtt broker?

MQTT support is now added, code was contributed by @janvrska. Release v0.5.1 and latest docker images contain support for this, please test and provide feedback.

Add following under realtime node in config yaml file

realtime:
    mqtt:
        enabled: true                      # true to enable MQTT
        broker: tcp://localhost:1883       # MQTT (tcp://host:port)
        topic: birdnet                     # MQTT topic
        username: birdnet		   # MQTT username
        password: secret       		   # MQTT password

Confirmed as working. Thank you both.

Just have to work out how best to display it in Home Assistant now.
