Feature Request: Support Front + Back Views of a Rack #4

Description

@GoodrichDev

Summary
Add the ability to define both the front and back side of a rack, allowing devices mounted on the rear side to appear in the UI alongside front-mounted equipment.

Many real racks use rear-mounted devices:

  • Patch panels
  • Cable organizers
  • PDUs
  • Switches mounted backward
  • Fiber shelves
  • Rear-only appliances

Currently tinyDC visualizes only the front, which limits accuracy.

This could look like:

{
  "devices": [
    {
      "id": "pdu-back",
      "side": "back",
      "startU": 1,
      "heightU": 1
    }
  ]
}

UI could have buttons for [ Front ] [ Back ] or could display both front and back per rack.
