Fix SCPI server response handling and add TEMP:RAMP command

- Revert server to only send responses for non-empty strings
  Per SCPI protocol: successful commands with no output send nothing
- Add TEMP:RAMP command support to thermal chamber simulator
- Fixes test_multiple_commands and test_physics_engine_integration

TCP server integration tests now passing (8/8).
TempCo integration tests still need work due to async/sync mixing.
