feat: add debug options panel for arbitrary resource-href writes (#54)

Power users can now pick a resource href from a live dropdown, view its
current value, and POST a minimal patch straight to the device -- to pin
down device-specific write behavior without waiting on a new release.
Bypasses the remote-control block and all write_fn/validate_fn logic by
design; the existing remote-control settings toggle moves behind the same
options-flow menu.

The remote-control override exists because most devices reject writes
outright while remote control is off and a clear error beats a silent
device-side rejection -- but not every model actually enforces that,
so this lets a user who's confirmed their device accepts writes anyway
turn the block off for just that device rather than it being
hardcoded on for everyone."""

that block (and every write_fn/validate_fn) entirely, sending exactly
the body the user types to whatever href they pick.
