Make lifepo4wered-daemon the primary process in run.sh

The daemon must contact the UPS within PI_BOOT_TO seconds of power-on
or the UPS cuts power. Start it immediately via exec as the container's
main process; run the MQTT monitor in a background loop with 30s restart
backoff so Supervisor API delays or monitor crashes can never delay or
kill the daemon.
