Add rcon.py for running server commands (op, gamemode, etc)

No interactive console exists since lazymc/systemd run the server in
the background, and mcrcon isn't packaged for Debian 13. Plain
Python3 RCON client instead, reads the password straight from
server.properties. setup-server.sh now copies it into mcserver/.
