    This means you can't subscribe only to specific log levels when using MQTT v5 so I may re-think this, but I don't want to keep publishing every single log message twice.

    Log Message:
    Refactor mqtt_client_on()

    This function has been causing somewhat rare crashes (e.g. one per week on a very active system with MQTT enabled) on both Windows and Linux (see issue #495). The root-cause is still unclear (possible heap corruption?). This function needed more robustification anyway (see previous TODO comment), so I'm refactoring here to no longer use strListAppendFormat, which uses vasprintf (the function where the rare crash was occurring) and instead just use snprintf and strListPush. The total client_list that's published (as a single string/message) is now dynamically allocated (this was the point of the previous TODO comment). This may not actually fix the issue if there's a heap corruption occurring somewhere else in this function or the call-chain that's reaching here (usually from the web server).

    Another change to mqtt_client_on(): don't incremented the server's 'served' counter until client disconnects (this is a past-tense statistic).

    Also:
    - mqtt_pub_strval() can now accept a null 'str' argument which is effectively the same as mqtt_pub_noval(), so the pub_noval() function is now just a thin wrapper around pub_strval().

    - mqtt_startup() now clears the client_list topic and sets the client_count topic to 0.

    These node attributes (misc) flags could be cleared previously
    by setting the 'misc' topic (e.g. to 0), but since that's not an atomic read/modify/write operation, other set misc flags could be lost clearing flags in that manner.

    Log Message:
    Remove MQTT message publishing from mqtt_connect_callback()

    A follow-up to commit 81d4575e

    Although I was not able to successfully reproduce the problem that Ree
    reported with his commit (even when changing the SCFG->Networks->MQTT->Publish QOS to 1: At least once) on Windows, I do see how this problem could theoretically happen. And like Ree said in the follow-up comment on the MR "maybe these two lines should have stayed in mqtt_startup", they don't really belong in the connection callback.

    The "client" topics only needs to be cleared upon startup or recycle (by publishing a null message) and it would be bad to clear these topics whenever the broker was reconnected (the server's clients didn't magically disconnect). So these "client" topic-clearing publishes are now only done during startup (again).

    The "recycle" topics don't really need to be published to here at all. I
    think I only did this for cases where someone published a non-null message to the topic and its stale message would remain afterward, appearing in MQTT browsers (like MQTT explorer) long after the server had recycled. The real solution to this cosmetic issue is to only publish null (0-length) messages to the "recycle" topics in the first place.

    Also include an MQTT v5 user-property ("time") with the message's origination time/date stamp in ISO-8601 format in all log messages (to both topics).

    This will at least double the amount of MQTT log traffic to the broker. When MQTT v5 is used, the additional user-properties will increase it even a little more.

    Is this what you were suggesting Ree?

    Fix crash after failing to connect to MQTT broker

    We need to call mqtt_shutdown() instead of mqtt_close() to have the mosquitto (loop) thread stopped.

    Upon connect failure, call the mqtt_shutdown() *before* calling lprintf->lputs, which would eventually try to MQTT-publish the log message.

    The call to mqtt_connect() can block for a while, so raise the log severity
    of the "connecting to broker" message from DEBUG to INFO. Otherwise, a bad
    MQTT broker address or port would make the servers just appear to hang during initialization, for no reason.
