Terminal UI for querying StW Aachen Mensa menus

Canteen menus from Studierendenwerk Aachen in your terminal - as one-shot output for scripts, and as an interactive full-screen view.

Signing in uses RWTH's device-code flow: mensa login prints a URL that already contains the confirmation code. Because a snap runs confined, the credentials live in the snap's own directory rather than in ~/.config/mensa, so this install needs a sign-in of its own.

Run snap alias aachen-mensa-cli.mensa mensa to get the short command the documentation uses.
