Bridge support for battery based devices

[timoschilling]

HomeKit over IP requires a consistent IP connection (WiFi / Ethernet) to work properly, only HomeKit over Bluetooth is made for battery bases devices. To support battery based Shelly's we plan to add a bridge mode to support them. We could also add bridge support for Shelly BLU devices.

This issue replaces #104, #124, #295, #1359.

Hey @timoschilling - thanks for the reply. I bet there's a lot of people interested in this (me included). Is there, currently, any indication of an ETA?

[timoschilling]

We don’t have any route map and no ETAs. The enhancement label only means that we think it’s a good idea and that it maybe some day will be implemented. The only thing that I can say that I’m also interested in this feature.
