feat: implement Emitter mode for streaming command output

Added new Emitter operating mode that allows clients to execute commands
and stream their output line-by-line in real-time. This simplifies
scenarios like log streaming and continuous data generation.

- Added EmitterOperatingMode class with async output streaming
- Updated command line parser to support --command parameter
- Added comprehensive unit tests for Emitter functionality
- Updated documentation with Emitter examples
- Added Emitter to feature list in README

 -   **Comprehensive Logging**: Daily rotating logs with Serilog integration
 -   **Direct Messaging**: Send messages to specific clients using `/msg ClientName`
 -   **File Storage**: Central file repository accessible by all clients
+-   **Emitter Mode**: Stream command output line-by-line in real-time
 -   Ability to execute and run tasks between your local apps through command line over the network
 -   Encrypted communication
 -   and more

+## Situation
+
+- Es gibt einen Server, der auf "serverhost" Port 8080 läuft
+- Ein Entwickler möchte die kontinuierliche Ausgabe eines Kommandozeilenbefehls an alle Clients senden
+
+## Action
+
+- Ein Client wird im Emitter-Modus gestartet und führt einen Befehl aus:
+```
+client.exe emitter --server serverhost --port 8080 --key 1234 --clientName "DataEmitter" --command "generate-numbers.exe"
+```
+
+- Das Programm `generate-numbers.exe` gibt kontinuierlich Zahlen aus:
+```
+1
+2
+3
+4
+5
+...
+```
+
+## Expected Result
+
+- Der Emitter-Client führt den angegebenen Befehl aus
+- Jede Zeile der Ausgabe wird SOFORT als Nachricht an den Server gesendet
+- Die Ausgabe erfolgt Zeile für Zeile, NICHT erst nach Beendigung des Befehls
+- Alle anderen Clients im [[R006 continuous listening mode]] erhalten die Nachrichten
+- Die Nachrichten werden im [[R005 standard display format for messages]] angezeigt
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+1. Der Emitter startet den Prozess mit:
+   - `RedirectStandardOutput = true`
+   - `RedirectStandardError = true`  
+   - `UseShellExecute = false`
+   - `CreateNoWindow = true`
+
+2. Die Ausgabe wird asynchron gelesen mit:
+   - `process.OutputDataReceived` Event
+   - `process.BeginOutputReadLine()`
+
+3. Jede empfangene Zeile wird sofort gesendet
+
+4. Bei Prozessende wird der Emitter beendet
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- Log-Streaming von laufenden Prozessen
+- Echtzeit-Datenübertragung von Sensoren
+- Vereinfachung von Bot-Szenarien (kein exec-Befehl nötig)
+- Monitoring von Langzeit-Prozessen
+
+## Example: Math Generator
+
+Statt eines Bots mit Script kann ein einfacher Emitter verwendet werden:
+
+```bash
+# generator.exe gibt alle 3 Sekunden eine Aufgabe aus
+client.exe emitter --server localhost --port 8080 --command "generator.exe"
+```
+
+generator.exe:
+```csharp
+while(true) {
+    var a = Random.Next(0, 11);
+    var b = Random.Next(0, 11);
+    Console.WriteLine($"{a} + {b} = ?");
+    Thread.Sleep(3000);
+}
+```
