Add feature "dynamic topic targets"

[amotl]

Dear Jan-Piet and Ben,

first things first: Thanks for sharing this great project!

We tried to enhance mqttwarn to add functionality we need for our Hiveeyes bee monitoring project. The feature was implemented as generic as possible to provide added value to the mqttwarn infrastructure in general. Kudos go to @einsiedlerkrebs for conceiving it and making this possible.

A short overview over the changes made:

• Interpolate transformation data into topic targets
• Improve overall robustness and address Take topicdata() and formatmap() out of the queue #27, this was essential for implementing the feature

Please get back to us if you have further questions or suggestions.

With kind regards,
Andreas.

We also updated the appropriate Wiki page. Unfortunately GitHub can not issue pull requests to Wikis, so we link to a PR issued to a clone: hiveeyes/mqttwarn-wiki#1

Cheers,
Richar

This basically looks very good, however it crashes mqttwarn if I publish a non-JSON payload to your example.

Could you address that please?

@einsiedlerkrebs Thanks for the documentation which I have "merged" ;-)

[amotl]

Sorry for missing that detail, would have been easy to catch, but it was late. :-) Will have a look and send a fix tonight.
