Niklas Ye f3918b863c List dead man's switches with their status on Team -> Switches
The page was a bare form: it did not say which switches existed or
whether they were alive. It now lists them, each with a Healthy, Dead or
Dormant badge, when its heartbeat was last heard and when it last opened
an incident (linked while that incident is open). A matcher that several
clusters satisfy is broken down per cluster, since a live cluster must
not hide a dead one. The form moved into a "New switch" sheet, and each
row has a Remove with a confirm.

That needed a switch to be a thing, so switches are rows now
(migration 009) with their own name, matcher, timeout and severity,
instead of one string with one team-wide timeout in deadman_configs.
Existing configuration is split into one row per matcher; a team whose
timeout was zero simply has none. The sweeper and the status endpoint
share one death rule (deadmanAlert.dead), so the page cannot disagree
with the pager. Incident group keys are unchanged, so incidents that
are open across the upgrade keep working.

The environment defaults (TERDUT_DEADMAN_*) are seeded into teams once
per install, recorded in settings, so a team that deletes its last
switch does not get it back on the next restart. Installs that already
had per-team rows are marked as seeded by the migration.

Removing a switch stops the watching but leaves an incident it already
opened open until someone resolves it.

API: GET/PUT /api/teams/{id}/deadman are replaced by
GET/POST /deadman/switches and DELETE /deadman/switches/{switchID}.
terdut-tui does not call them, so nothing to mirror there.
