Add MessageBroker for QML and native communication

Introduces MessageBroker to enable communication between the dylib and QML via signals. Updates CMakeLists.txt to include Qml components and conditionally add MessageBroker sources in qmlrebuild mode. reMarkable.m is updated to register the QML type, set up native callbacks, and demonstrate broadcasting signals.
