This commit makes the client_name constructor param optional, allowing the underlying Paho MQTT library to generate a random ID as needed. If client_name is provided, it is appended with 6 random characters to help ensure uniqueness.

W/out this patch, if you accidentally supply the same client_name for multiple readers (say, via a template), each new connection causes the broker to disconnect all previous instances, and only the last instance receives messages.
