An IP speaker is controllable but has none of the capabilities the Controls
table models: nothing moves, focuses or lights up. It plays a sound file it
already holds, selected by a numeric id, and carries an output volume.
Add CanAudioPlay, MinAudioFile, MaxAudioFile and CanAudioVolume to Controls,
with migration zm_update-1.39.21.sql. CanAudioPlay renders one button per
sound id plus a stop button; MinAudioFile/MaxAudioFile bound that range;
CanAudioVolume renders the volume pair. The sound id travels in the command
name (audioPlay12), the way presets already do, because a control button has
no way to attach a separate parameter.
Add ZoneMinder::Control::IPSpeaker driving the device's own HTTP interface,
and a Controls entry for it. Playback goes over the vendor interface rather
than ONVIF because the ONVIF audio output service on this firmware only
describes the output and offers no way to start a stored file.
Measured against a device reporting ONVIF Manufacturer "IPSpeaker" and
firmware CS20-V3.3.45N:
- File ids fall in two windows, 10-14 built-in and 20-30 operator uploads.
Anything else is refused with result -2, and an id in a window with no file
uploaded with result -3, so valid_fileid refuses only the former: an empty
slot is a legitimate id the operator may fill later.
- config=audio.set replaces the whole audio section, so a partial write
reverts the microphone, codec list and echo-cancellation settings. Every
volume change reads the section and echoes it back with the new level.
audio.get also returns outmute, which audio.set rejects, so it is excluded
from the field list.
- The volume reads back and round-trips, but the device's RTSP audio is a
pre-volume tap of the playback signal: it is unchanged with outvolume at 0,
so it cannot confirm the loudspeaker's acoustic output. CanAudioVolume is
set on the strength of the setting persisting, and both the POD and the
seed row say the acoustic effect is unconfirmed.
The seed row covers the built-in window only, because a fresh device has
nothing uploaded and the firmware refuses an empty slot.
Adding columns to Controls extends the 43 positional INSERTs in
db/controls.sql, which carry no column list and so must match the column
count exactly.
Tests: scripts/ZoneMinder/t/ip_speaker.t, 32 assertions covering file id
windows, volume clamping and stepping, request building and the whole-section
write. All pass.

(cherry picked from commit d07e552a3c58373f7f0ccebf9aa28adb4d51baa3)
Add a CanIndicatorLight capability and status-aware Indicator toggle button. The indicator LED on the ASH21-B, ADC2W and ASH42-B is controlled via the LightGlobal config (configManager get/setConfig); add indicatorLightOn/Off/Status to Dahua_RPC and a model-specific 'Amcrest ASH42-B RPC' Controls row, with the capability also enabled on the ASH21-B/ADC2W/generic rows. Migration zm_update-1.39.13.sql adds the column.
Add Dahua_RPC keepAlive (global.keepAlive) wired into a 30s zmcontrol idle tick, plus session-expiry re-login retry in set_config and the status queries, so the long-running control daemon does not silently fail after the ~60s session timeout.

Add a CanLight control capability rendering a single status-aware Light toggle button. The ADC2W white light is driven via CoaxialControlIO.control (Type 1, numeric IO); the button queries live state and reflects it (amber when on).
To get device state to the browser, add an opt-in two-way response path to the control protocol: zmcontrol writes a JSON result back only when a request sets wants_response (fire-and-forget commands unchanged, SIGPIPE-safe); Monitor::sendControlCommandWithResponse and ajax/control.php return it.
Also adds get_config/set_config/probe to Dahua_RPC for characterising cameras, the CanLight column (migration zm_update-1.39.12.sql), edit-UI checkbox, and a config unit test.
