Isaac ConnorandClaude Opus 5 ad70d5e80a feat: add an AlarmEnd trigger to monitor actions
Alarm turns a light on when motion starts; nothing turned it back off. The
existing EventEnd is not the answer: the alarm ends when the monitor leaves the
alert state, while the event carries on recording for the rest of its section,
which on a continuous-recording monitor is up to ten minutes later.

Analyse() leaves the alarm condition by three paths and all three fire it: the
normal ALERT to IDLE, a signal change, and the trigger being turned off. The
abnormal two matter most - a light switched on by an alarm must not stay on
because the camera lost signal.

That needs the firing to be paired, so alarm_actions_fired is set when Alarm
fires and cleared by EndAlarmActions. It guards both directions:

  - the three call sites can run back to back, so without it one alarm could
    fire AlarmEnd several times
  - signal loss and trigger off also run on monitors that never alarmed, and an
    unpaired AlarmEnd would switch a light off for an alarm that never happened
  - the ALERT to ALARM re-trigger inside one incident deliberately does not
    re-fire Alarm, so a single AlarmEnd still has to balance it

The migration MODIFYs the enum and appends the value, so stored rows keep their
meaning; appending to an enum does not renumber what is already there.

Tested: 8 assertions over the pairing rule, run standalone because the real
class needs a database and a camera - the ordinary pair, repeated calls firing
once, an unpaired call firing nothing, two alarms pairing independently, and
the re-trigger case. The action test now also requires every trigger name to
round trip through the TriggerOn enum, so an action saved by the editor cannot
load with a trigger the C++ does not recognise and fire at the wrong moment.
Build clean at 1.39.33, Perl 15 files / 249 assertions, ESLint 0 problems,
tests/js 154 assertions, php -l clean.

Isaac Connor eafdffcd95 feat: add per-monitor actions that drive a light or a speaker on alarm
A camera that detects motion should be able to sound a speaker, and the
speaker is rarely the camera: it is a separate device with its own address,
credentials, stream and Controls entry. Model it as a monitor and let a
monitor's alarm drive actions on other monitors.

Add Monitors.DeviceClass enum('Camera','Speaker'). This is what the device
is, as distinct from Type, which selects the capture backend - an IP speaker
still captures over Ffmpeg like any other RTSP device, so Type could not
carry the distinction.

Add the MonitorActions table: MonitorId is the monitor that triggers,
TargetMonitorId the device acted on, and the two are frequently different.
TriggerOn covers EventStart, EventEnd, Alarm and Manual.

Which actions a device is offered is decided by its Controls row - CanLight,
CanIndicatorLight, CanAudioPlay - so a device can only be asked to do what it
has been measured to do. The editor filters on this and the save path
re-checks it, because the request is not to be trusted.

Execution goes straight to the target's zmcontrol socket rather than forking
zmcontrol.pl per action: the daemon already accepts a line of JSON there, and
it is the same path the control panel uses. ActionCommandName maps the DB
enum onto a method name as a whitelist, so nothing out of the database
reaches the control daemon uninspected. Actions are fire-and-forget - a
speaker that is offline is logged and skipped, never allowed to hold up event
handling.

Alarm actions fire only on the genuine entry into alarm, not on the
ALERT->ALARM re-entry, which would re-sound a speaker within one incident.
EventEnd runs on the calling thread before the event is handed to the closing
thread, which does not capture `this`.

Manual actions appear as buttons on the watch page, and are the reason the
control panel is now shown for a monitor that has actions but no control of
its own. Firing one sends only the action id; the command and target are
rebuilt server side, and Control rights are required on the target device and
not merely on the monitor the action hangs off.

Also add --file to zmcontrol.pl, without which audioPlay could not be driven
from the command line. The web path was unaffected as it bypasses GetOptions.

Tests: tests/zm_monitor_action.cpp covers the command whitelist, the message
format (including that file id 0 is a real id and that a stale AudioFile is
never passed to a command that takes none), trigger names, and that every
value of the ActionType enum maps to a command.
