Add a notice registry and System Health tab (#24178)

* add a notice registry and System Health tab

Problems Frigate detects on its own (ffmpeg crash loops, stuck detectors, failed model downloads, recordings deleted before their retention period) only ever existed as log lines. This adds a `NoticeRegistry` in the main process backed by two tables, an `update_notice` IPC topic so producers in other processes can reach it through the dispatcher, an admin-only API and websocket topic, and a Health tab that lists them. Kinds declare their own mode, severity, and category in one place: state notices are resolved by their producer, event notices are dismissed by the user.

* treat a prerelease as behind its final release

* fix notices clearing early

* rename menu items and update docs

* don't resolve the update notice on a failed version lookup

### Frigate is slow to start up with a "probing detect stream" message in the logs
When `detect.width` and `detect.height` are not set, Frigate probes each camera's detect stream on startup (and when saving the config) to auto-detect its resolution. For RTSP streams Frigate probes with ffprobe and automatically retries over TCP if UDP doesn't respond, with a 5 second timeout per attempt. A camera that cannot be reached over either transport will add up to ~10 seconds to startup before Frigate falls through with default dimensions, which may show up as width `0` and height `0` in Camera Probe Info under System Metrics.

To skip the probe entirely and make startup instant, set `detect.width` and `detect.height` explicitly in your camera config:

Filters and masks only hide the incorrect result - they don't teach Frigate what the object actually is. For that, fine-tune your own model or use Frigate+.
### Where do I see problems Frigate has detected?
Open System > Health. The Notices list shows problems the backend has noticed on its own, such as a camera whose ffmpeg keeps crashing, a detector that had to be restarted, a model download that failed, or recordings being deleted before their retention period. Entries that describe a one-time event can be dismissed; entries that describe an ongoing condition clear themselves once it is fixed.
