073acb7304 Add VRS JSON format support for readsb integration
Added comprehensive support for VRS (Virtual Radar Server) JSON format
as a simpler alternative to Beast binary protocol, enabling integration
with readsb --net-vrs-port output.

## Key Features:
- **VRS JSON Parser**: Stream parsing of newline-delimited JSON aircraft data
- **VRS Client**: TCP client with automatic reconnection and error recovery
- **Mixed Format Support**: Use Beast and VRS sources simultaneously
- **Enhanced Aircraft Data**: Added VRS-specific fields (registration, type, operator)
- **Position Source Tracking**: Identifies ADS-B, MLAT, TIS-B, and satellite positions

## Implementation:
- `internal/vrs/parser.go`: VRS JSON message parsing and validation
- `internal/client/vrs.go`: VRS TCP client implementation
- Enhanced `MultiSourceClient` to support both Beast and VRS formats
- Extended `Aircraft` struct with validity flags and additional metadata
- Updated configuration to include `format` field ("beast" or "vrs")

## Testing:
- Successfully tested against svovel:33005 VRS JSON stream
- Verified aircraft data parsing and position tracking
- Confirmed mixed-format operation with existing Beast clients

## Documentation:
- Updated README.md with VRS format configuration examples
- Enhanced ARCHITECTURE.md with VRS parser documentation
- Added data format comparison and configuration guide

This enables simpler integration with modern readsb installations while
maintaining full backward compatibility with existing Beast deployments.
