Michał Mleczko 5969d36856 feat(alerts): add container health alerts with log excerpt on notifications (#2225)
Add a new "ContainerHealth" alert type that fires when a Docker container's
health check reports unhealthy, and resolves when it recovers. This mirrors
the existing Status (up/down) alert pattern: an alert can be armed per system
and honors the "min minutes" delay before firing.

When the alert fires, the notification (email and any configured webhook,
including Discord via shoutrrr) includes a log excerpt fetched live from the
agent for up to 2 of the unhealthy containers, prioritizing lines containing
"error" or "fatal" (falling back to the log tail if none match), capped to
keep the message well under Discord's size limit.
