[mh] Support for TP-Link Kasa Smart devices

These devices are interesting because they are relatively inexpensive 
(ex: smart plugs start as low as $10 each) and can be locally controlled 
without any "clouds":

Note that new firmware introduced around 2020-11 reportedly turns off 
the local control functionality, but there is a process on the 
manufacturer's mailing list to get the firmware reverted.  They are also 
plans for a new method for local control with some cloud setup for local 
access.

I just blocked internet access to all my devices and have not had any 
issues with using the original TCP port 9999 local control.

To use them with MH I wrote a short (26 line) module to add basic 
support for these devices.  It is basic because it relies on a separate 
python-kasa module to actually control the devices and this module is 
really just a passthrough to that.  It is one-way (i.e.: you can control 
devices, but local control does not generate any state updates back to 
MH). and doesn't do any error checking yet.

I created a branch and a commit but when trying to push to github with 
SSH I get:

ERROR: Permission to hollie/misterhouse.git denied to jsiddall.

after _successfully_ connecting (yes, public key is in github). I seem 
to recall this worked in the past so maybe some new controls are in 
place.  Can one of the devs let me know what I need to do?

Thanks!
