Replace Netdata alerting with vmalert:

- add vmalert init script (vmalert.initd) to start/stop vmalert service
- add vmalert UCI configuration file (vmalert.conf) with datasource settings
- add comprehensive alert rules
- update Makefile to install vmalert configuration and rules
- add detailed documentation of vmalert setup and metrics mapping
- support for Mimir integration when configured via ns-plug
- add ns-plug-alert-proxy that listens on 127.0.0.1:9095 and receives notifications
  from vmalert: the proxy verify if an alert is firing or resolved
  Then it translates selected alerts to the legacy portal format and forwards
  them to my.nethesis.it or my.nethserver.com
- if Mimir credentials are present in ns-plug UCI config, the Mimir
  alertmanager endpoint is added as a second notifier alongside the proxy
- port to Victoria Metrics also alert about non-encrypted backup
- add telegraf-mwan Python script that reads /var/run/mwan3/iface_state/
  to collect WAN interface connectivity state.
- add telegraf-services Python script that queries ubus to collect the
  running state of all procd-managed services. Outputs JSON for

Changes:
- migrate ping monitoring from netdata's fping plugin to telegraf's native
  ping input plugin
- expose metrics to the UI

The ping plugin uses native method (method="native") which sends ICMP
packets directly without external ping command, requiring CAP_NET_RAW
capability or root privileges. Metrics are tagged with
influxdb_db="ping-metrics" for proper InfluxDB database routing.

Sync the local adblock fork to upstream 4.5.5-3 while keeping the
NethSecurity-specific ts-dns hooks, bypass migration, and nft bypass
rules intact.

Assisted-by: Copilot:gpt-5.4
Changes:
- add a new `nft-reload` action inside adbblock.sh
- trigger reload when the configuration has been updated
- call nft-reload on reload

The above changes will recreated the nft chain
when the bypass configuration has been changed.
Store Threat Shield DNS local allow and block list edits in UCI
so rapid API calls no longer rewrite adblock files or restart the
service immediately.

Write the physical adblock list files during the next reload, add a
one-shot migration for existing list files, and document the staged
workflow for the affected API methods.

The init file from upstream replaces the dpd_action option values.
Notably it replaces `restart` with `start`, but `start` value
is not supported by Strongswan 6.
Make sure if `restart` is set, the value is preserved.

From the manual:

  Action to perform for this CHILD_SA on DPD timeout. The default clear closes the CHILD_SA
  and does not take further action. trap installs a trap policy, which will catch matching traffic
  and tries to re-negotiate the tunnel on-demand (note that this is redundant if start_action includes trap.
  restart immediately tries to re-negotiate the CHILD_SA under a fresh IKE_SA.
