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.
