PS5 HDMI libcec commands

This article provides a guide on using a Raspberry Pi 4 to send HDMI-CEC commands to a PlayStation 5 via the `/dev/cec1` interface. The commands allow users to turn the PS5 on and off, check its power status, and simulate controller inputs like D-pad navigation and button presses. The functionality of certain commands, such as powering on from rest mode, depends on specific PS5 HDMI settings like "Power off Link."
