Adds a curated, per-encoder parameter-template library to ZoneMinder:
- Monitor edit page: a new Template row above the EncoderParameters
textarea offers per-encoder templates (Balanced / Archival / Low
Power / Low CPU). Apply merges the template's params into the
textarea, preserving user-only keys. Advisory lint flags option
keys that aren't recognised for the selected encoder. Switching
encoders offers a same-name template on the new encoder via a
native confirm.
- Options page: a new Encoder Templates tab with full CRUD —
list / edit / copy / delete — backed by a new CakePHP REST API
at /api/encoder_templates.
- Storage: a new EncoderTemplates DB table seeded with 14 shipped
defaults across libx264 / libx265 / h264_nvenc / hevc_nvenc /
h264_vaapi / hevc_vaapi. The table is mutable; ZM upgrades do not
re-seed user-edited rows.
- valid_keys (the lint allow-list) stays in PHP code as ffmpeg
vocabulary, not user data.
- Default params explicitly include pix_fmt to avoid the yuvj420p
HEVC HW-decode rejection issue we hit earlier.
No C++ change. The textarea content is parsed by the existing
av_dict_parse_string call in src/zm_videostore.cpp.
version.txt -> 1.39.6.

Replaces the uninformative "Any ONVIF options required. This is an
optional field." with a full reference covering:
- key=value,key=value format with an example
- pull_timeout, subscription_timeout, max_retries,
timestamp_validity, soap_log, renewal_enabled, expire_alarms,
closes_event — including defaults, valid ranges, and when to use each
Also fixes pre-existing typo: "alam" → "alarm".

Add dedicated documentation page for the zma binary covering synopsis,
all command-line options, operating modes (update-existing vs create-events),
save-analysis functionality, and usage examples. Add zma entry to the
components page and user guide toctree.

Document the need to add www-data to the video group for local camera
access. The package postinst now does this automatically, but source
installs still require the manual step.

Failing to install apache2 results in subsequent calls to a2enconf and a2enmod failing because they might not have been installed. (in my case, I was using a minimal Debian 12 install which doesn't install apache2)
As written, you can't redirect sudo output as desired. Wrapping the "echo deb..." in quotes will permit a regular user to redirect stdout to /etc/apt/sources.list
