Add alert archiving

Alerts can be manually archived (POST /api/alerts/{id}/archive) or
unarchived (DELETE /api/alerts/{id}/archive). A background goroutine
auto-archives resolved alerts older than TERDUT_ARCHIVE_AFTER (default 7d).
GET /api/alerts hides archived alerts by default; ?archived=true shows them.
