Mauricio CamayoandClaude Sonnet 5 f564448617 fix: address CodeRabbit review findings on pihole_monitor plugin
Addresses 5 of the 6 actionable comments from CodeRabbit's review of
PR #1765 (netalertx/NetAlertX#1765), plus adds test coverage:

- fetch_top_blocked_clients() returns None on failure instead of {},
  so a failed request can no longer be mistaken for "genuinely zero
  blocked queries this run" and silently write a false 0 into a
  device's rolling history baseline. main() now tracks a
  stats_complete flag and skips anomaly evaluation + history
  persistence entirely for a run with incomplete blocked-query data.
- fetch_top_blocked_clients() is now called with count=max_clients
  (the existing PIHOLEMON_API_MAXCLIENTS setting) instead of a
  hardcoded default of 50, so clients beyond the top 50 are no longer
  silently dropped from anomaly detection.
- New build_ip_to_mac() derives the IP->MAC identity map from every
  gathered device entry instead of from merge_device_entries()'s
  by-MAC-deduplicated output, which only kept one IP per device and
  silently lost a multi-IP device's other IPs (misattributing their
  blocked-query traffic to a bare IP instead of the real MAC).
- PIHOLEMON_HISTORY_LENGTH is clamped to at least 1, so a negative
  setting can no longer reach the history[-history_length:] slice
  with a nonsensical negative-of-negative length.
- PIHOLEMON_VERIFY_SSL now defaults to true (was false, matching the
  official PIHOLEAPI plugin's convention). README documents the
  http:// vs https:// credentials trade-off explicitly rather than
  forcing https:// - most home Pi-hole setups, including the one this
  plugin targets, run over plain HTTP on a trusted LAN.
- Added test/plugins/test_pihole_monitor.py (37 tests, 99% line and
  branch coverage of pihole_monitor.py per pytest-cov - only the
  `if __name__ == '__main__':` entry-point guard is unreached):
  auth and deauth success/failure paths, the None-sentinel-on-failure
  contract, fetch_devices()'s own failure path, build_ip_to_mac()'s
  multi-IP fix, gather_device_entries()'s skip branches and fake-MAC
  fallback, netalertx_device_owner()'s success/failure/no-URL paths,
  and main()-level coverage for source aggregation, the
  stats_complete gate, the history_length boundary clamp, the
  CONSIDER_ONLINE fallback, an unconfigured-sources run, and the
  offline-device / invalid-MAC / unknown-IP / owner-lookup branches
  together in one run.

Not addressed: CodeRabbit's suggestion to hard-reject http:// URLs in
auth(). Diverges deliberately - it would break the plugin's majority
use case (Pi-hole admin API on a trusted home LAN without TLS), which
this repo's own PIHOLEAPI plugin also targets over plain HTTP.

NetAlertX modules

The original pilaert.py code is now moved to this new folder and split into different modules.

Module Description
__main__.py The MAIN program of NetAlertX
__init__.py an empty init file
README.md this readme file
../server/plugins a folder containing all plugins that publish notifications or scan for devices
api.py updating the API endpoints with the relevant data.
appevent.py TBC
const.py A place to define the constants for NetAlertX like log path or config path.
conf.py conf.py holds the configuration variables and makes them available for all modules. It is also the workaround for global variables that need to be resolved at some point
database.py This module connects to the DB, makes sure the DB is up to date and defines some standard queries and interfaces.
device.py The device module looks after the devices and saves the scan results into the devices
flows.py TBC
helper.py Helper as the name suggest contains multiple little functions and methods used in many of the other modules and helps keep things clean
initialise.py Initiatlise sets up the environment and makes everything ready to go
logger.py Logger is there the keep all the logs organised and looking identical.
networscan.py Networkscan collects the scan results (maybe to merge with reporting.py)
notification.py Creates and handles the notification object and generates ther HTML and text variants of the message
plugin.py This is where the plugins get integrated into the backend of NetAlertX
plugin_utils.py Helper utilities for plugin.py
reporting.py Reporting collects the data for the notification reports
scheduler.py All things scheduling
