Tweaks (#24418)
* don't display audio transcription provider message as health notice

* show remote provider for audio transcription in health pane

* adjust trigger and notifications messages to be consistent with the rest of the settings UI

* disable save buttons when there are no changes in config editor

* fix audio manager crash when a camera is added at runtime

The audio processor and the camera maintainer both poll the same `add` config update on their own one second timers, and the maintainer is what creates `camera_metrics[name]`. When the audio processor got there first it looked the new camera up before that entry existed, and the `KeyError` took down the whole `frigate.audio_manager` process. Whether it happens depends purely on which poll fires first, so cloning a camera from the UI fails or succeeds at random. `spawn_if_needed` now skips a camera whose metrics aren't there yet and picks it up on the next poll, the same way it already waits on a late ffmpeg update.

`AudioEventMaintainer` holds the `CameraMetrics` object now instead of indexing the manager dict on every audio chunk, which drops the IPC round trips and means a removed camera can't `KeyError` out of `detect_audio` after the maintainer pops the entry. The audio process is also registered with the watchdog, since a crash there previously left audio detection dead for every camera until a full restart, and it now receives the shared `DataProcessorMetrics` so `AudioTranscriptionRealTimeProcessor` gets the same type as the other real time processors.

* fix stationary max_frames dropping other tracked objects

When `max_frames` was set for a label, deregistering one object rebuilt norfair's list with a filter that kept an object only if it was both not the target and already on its way out, so every other healthy object of that label was dropped along with it. Any car leaving the frame took the rest of the cars with it and they came back as new tracked objects a few frames later. The filter now removes only the target, and objects that are expiring are still reaped by norfair on the next update.

* fix test

* fix skip_motion_threshold permanently disabling motion detection

The skip check returned before the two `accumulateWeighted` calls at the end of `detect`, so a skipped frame never made it into the background and setting `calibrating` there only picked a faster alpha for calls that never ran. `avg_frame` starts as an all zero image and a normally lit scene differs from black across nearly the whole frame, so the cameras I tested measure 0.84 to 0.98 against it. Any `skip_motion_threshold` below that number skips the first frame, leaves the background black, and skips every frame after it. Motion detection is dead for that camera until the setting is removed or Frigate restarts, with no motion boxes, no motion recordings, and no regions for the tracker since the detector stays calibrating.

Startup isn't the only way in. `update_mask` zeroes the background on any motion config change, and once a camera has calibrated the first IR switch or PTZ move freezes the background on the old scene, so it can't transition to the new one, which is the case the option exists for. The frame is now blended in before the early return at the same 0.2 alpha the calibrating path uses elsewhere, so a large scene change is still suppressed while the background catches up, about a second on a 5 fps camera, and then motion comes back.

* dump ffmpeg logs on every restart

The record watchdog restarted ffmpeg without flushing its `LogPipe`, so a camera whose recording segments went stale never showed a single line of ffmpeg output. The dump now happens in `start_or_restart_ffmpeg` right after the stop, which covers the stale record path, the record crash path, and the audio restart. `reset_capture_thread` and the audio `log_and_restart` fallback keep their own dumps since both pass `ffmpeg_process=None`.

* dump ffmpeg logs once per restart

The audio restart path dumped the log pipe itself before calling the helper, so the restart dump printed a second "last 100 lines" heading over an already drained deque and split the tail that `stop_ffmpeg` flushed into its own section. The heading is now only printed when there's something under it, and the audio path leaves the dump to the restart so each failure produces one section.

* keep all logpipe dumps consistent
