Scotch 3M Magnetic Tape Viewer

These are rare beasts, a useful tool for Audio Archiving. It rests on the Tape, showing the Magnetic Pattern

Ensures you get the right Head Configuration first time

Welcome Marwan Yassini as #curl commit author 1311: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1545…

mqtt: Fixed mqtt.md wording and added clearer explanation. by Marwan141 · Pull Request #15451 · curl/curl

Some of the wording in the MQTT.md file was confusing in terms of how the commands were used and what they did, so I cleared up some of the wording to better explain the use case of each command.
