Modernize X-Plane Web API client

[ahuimanu]

Summary

• Adds async REST support, typed metadata caches, structured logging, typed exceptions, retry helpers, context-manager cleanup, and REST connection pooling.
• Expands the approved unittest coverage across REST, async REST, WebSocket, UDP, beacon, logging, docs, and quality tooling.
• Adds CI/local quality tooling, API reference docs, usage guidance, and type-annotated examples.
• Addresses review findings by rejecting unsupported async auto_save usage, aligning README development setup with uv sync, preventing WebSocket ghost requests when the socket disappears before send, avoiding WebSocket listener busy-waiting while disconnected, and guarding UDP/beacon multicast socket options on platforms without SO_REUSEPORT.

Validation

• uv run python -m unittest discover -v - 229 tests passed.
• uv run python tools\quality.py check - passed: ruff, format check, ty, unittest, coverage, bandit, detect-secrets, interrogate, vulture, and xenon.
• Coverage report: 70%, above the 40% gate.

Notes

• Prepared from a clean branch based on devleaks/main.
• Excludes local agent/workflow planning files from the fork history.

Pull request overview

Modernizes the xpwebapi Python client by adding async REST support, typed caches, structured logging configuration, retry/backoff helpers, and expanded quality tooling/docs, while migrating the WebSocket/REST clients to newer dependencies and type annotations.

Changes:

• Introduces retry/backoff utilities, typed exception hierarchy, and structured logging configuration helpers.
• Reworks REST/WebSocket/UDP clients for updated transport libraries (httpx/websockets), connection pooling, and context-managed cleanup.
• Adds extensive unittest coverage plus repo-local quality gates, CI updates, and expanded docs/examples.
