Implement ophyd-async Bridge Client for Generic TCP Instrument Servers

[Relm-Arrowny]

Goals

Acceptance criteria:

• Create a TCPBridgeClient that implements the ophyd_async.core.Device protocol.
• The client can connect to any server inheriting from AbstractInstrumentServer.
• Users can perform standard Bluesky operations
• Data types are automatically handled via the server's Tab-Separated Protocol responses.
• Connection status is monitored via the ophyd-async connection logic (Connected/Disconnected states).

Tasks

base on the goals, deduce the tasks required. check them off once they're done

• Create Signal Mapping: Map specific TCP commands (e.g., getData, setRefV) to (soft)SignalR objects within ophyd-async.
• Add Device.connect(): Implement the asynchronous connection logic required by the ophyd-async controller.
• Unit Tests: Create a mock TCP server to verify that the client correctly parses data into the ophyd structure.
