Apply misc-include-cleaner fixes
misc-include-cleaner seems to have found a lot more things all of a sudden. Unclear why the result has changed, but we can just fix the issues.
Tested: Clang-tidy

Tested: Clang-tidy now passes. Code compiles.

Add mctpreactor for dynamic configuration of MCTP networks
While mctpd[1] may see heavy use in projects such as OpenBMC, it implements generic functionality necessary to operate MCTP as a protocol.
Add mctpreactor for dynamic configuration of MCTP networks
While mctpd[1] may see heavy use in projects such as OpenBMC, it implements generic functionality necessary to operate MCTP as a protocol. It therefore should be easy to use in other contexts, and so it feels unwise to embed OpenBMC-specific details in its implementation.
Conversely, entity-manager's scope is to expose inventory and board configuration. It externalises all other responsibilities for the sake of stability and maintenance. While entity-manager is central to OpenBMC's implementation and has little use in other contexts, embedding details of how to configure mctpd in entity-manager exceeds its scope.
Thus we reach the design point of mctpreactor, an intermediary process that encapsulates OpenBMC-specific and mctpd-specific behaviors to constrain their dispersion in either direction. The design-point was reached via discussion at [2].
mctpreactor tracks instances of transport-specific MCTP device configurations[3] appearing as a result of inventory changes, and uses them to assign endpoint IDs via mctpd.
The lifecycle of an MCTP device can be quite dynamic - mctpd provides behaviors to recover[4] or remove endpoints from the network. Their presence cannot be assumed. mctpreactor handles these events: If a device is removed at the MCTP layer (as it may be unresponsive), mctpreactor will periodically attempt to re-establish it as an endpoint so long as the associated configuration on the entity-manager inventory object remains exposed.
