🛑 Issue: Incompatibility with paho-mqtt==2.1.0 in Home Assistant

Description

The meross_cloud custom integration for Home Assistant is currently unable to install because meross_iot has a strict dependency on paho-mqtt versions <2.0.0, while Home Assistant has already upgraded to paho-mqtt==2.1.0. As a result, Home Assistant OS users cannot install meross_iot, causing meross_cloud to fail.

Error log from Home Assistant

Unable to install package meross_iot==0.4.8.0: × No solution found when resolving dependencies: ╰─▶ Because meross-iot==0.4.8.0 depends on paho-mqtt>=1.5.0,<2.0.0 and paho-mqtt==2.1.0, we can conclude that meross-iot==0.4.8.0 cannot be used. And because you require meross-iot==0.4.8.0, we can conclude that your requirements are unsatisfiable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install meross_cloud via HACS or manually in Home Assistant OS.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Observe the error in the logs indicating that meross_iot cannot be installed.

Expected Behavior

meross_iot should support paho-mqtt>=2.0.0 to be compatible with Home Assistant's latest dependencies.

Proposed Solution

• Update meross_iot to support paho-mqtt==2.1.0 or newer.
• Allow more flexible versioning for paho-mqtt in meross_iot dependencies.

Home Assistant Version

• Home Assistant OS (latest stable release)
• paho-mqtt==2.1.0 installed by default

Additional Context

Many Home Assistant users rely on meross_cloud, but it is currently broken due to this dependency issue. Could you please update meross_iot to support the latest paho-mqtt version?
