This pull request adds a Broadcasting Chat Server project to the 30DaysDevChallenge repository under the 30_days_of_java folder. The project consists of a simple chat server and client applications written in Java. The server supports multiple clients, allowing them to send and receive messages in real time.

Features:

• Multi-Client Support: Handles connections from multiple clients using Java's multi-threading capabilities.
• Real-Time Messaging: Broadcasts messages from any client to all other connected clients.
• Robust Error Handling: Ensures that the server and clients handle errors gracefully and maintain stable operation.
• Console-Based Interface: Provides a basic command-line interface for interaction.

Components:

• ChatServer.java: Server-side application that manages client connections and broadcasts messages.
• ChatClient.java: Client-side application that connects to the server, sends messages and displays incoming messages.
