Let an operator authenticate with a seeded key, and reset the schema
- TERDUT_OPERATOR_KEY creates or re-keys the instance-scoped service account
  "terdut-operator" at every start, so terdut-operator needs no bootstrap
  handshake. An instance-scoped account now acts as owner of every team's
  configuration, but is not a member of any team.
- POST /api/teams takes an external_id (instance service accounts only) and
  is idempotent on it, so automation finds its own team again after a crash
  instead of adopting by display name. GET /api/teams?name= is removed.
- Integration and dead man's switch names are unique per team (409). The
  escalation PUT accepts usernames and resolves them itself.
- The 18 migrations are squashed into 001_schema.sql, with no Default team.
  TERDUT_DEADMAN_* and the env seeding of switches are removed: teams carry
  their own. Existing development databases must be recreated.

Security and robustness:
- GET /api/users no longer returns other people's email or ntfy topic to
  non-admins.
- The access log records the route pattern, so integration keys and ack
  tokens in the path are not written to the log. Server errors are logged.
- Rate limits take the client address TERDUT_TRUSTED_PROXIES hops from the
  right of X-Forwarded-For instead of trusting the first, forgeable entry.
- /api/bootstrap runs in a transaction under an advisory lock, so two
  concurrent calls cannot both create an administrator.
- API key last_used_at is written at most every five minutes.

Cleanup: remove GET /api/incidents/{id}/alerts, unused exports, SQLite
remnants in comments and config.
