Fix manual_ack support in sr3/moth/mqtt to reflect new PR (code used to support the previous paho PR, but it was never merged. I have closed that other PR now, hopefully this new one gets merged.)

Match the PR below: eclipse-paho/paho.mqtt.python#753
The current python library acknowledges receipt of messages (in QoS=1 or 2) before calling the on_message(..) callback, and so leaves a vulnerability where messages may be acknowledged before they are properly received by the application.

The Java implementation behaves the same way by default, but has a manualAck mode boolean flag available to allow the application to take over responsibility should it choose to do so. There was a lot of discussion around the original PR, so created
this second one to be easier to accept ;-) it literally just brings the functionality existing in the Java implementation as-is to the python one.

I think a lot of people want this feature, it would be great to have it reviewed.

Two years ago, I submitted eclipse-paho/paho.mqtt.python#554 to address the issue from 2018: eclipse-paho/paho.mqtt.python#348 There was a lot of discussion,
but it never got merged.
