Setup Unifi Dream Machine (UDM, UDM-SE, etc.) automatic fan speeds control to lower temps and increase hard drive lifespan.

udm_fancontrol_setup.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Installs and configures fancontrol to automatically run Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) fans harder & lower temperatures.
# 
# Context: Unifi equipment typically runs *very* hot from the factory unless you customize it.
# I don't want my hard drives to run as hot as they let them get by default (55ºC+), because it shortens lifespan (ideal temp is ~35-45C).
