docker: the eight things Dockhand did that Ham Lab did not

Dockhand is being retired, so the Docker tab has to cover what it actually
earned its keep doing. Eight pieces, all per container or per machine:

- Stats: CPU, memory and IO over time, from sensors already collected.
- Health: the container's own healthcheck, with the last few probe outputs —
  which is where a failing check says why.
- Events: `docker events` keeps a minute of backlog and nothing more, so Ham
  Lab follows the stream and keeps a ring of its own. A restart at 4am is
  still there at 9.
- Shell: `docker exec` into a container, in the terminal already here.
- Limits: memory, CPU and restart policy changed live, without hand-editing
  the compose file for a number you want to try.
- Updates: what the registry has that this machine does not, for every image
  at once rather than one stack at a time.
- The same across every machine, asked of the hub — which is the only thing
  that can reach them all.
- Schedules: a real line in /etc/cron.d/hamlab-docker calling the binary,
  in the same shape as the ZFS snapshot schedules. Dockhand updated DNS and
  ingress nightly from a ticker inside a web app; a cron line keeps running
  when the console does not, and is visible to anyone reading the machine the
  normal way.

internal/compose is new and shared, so a deploy from the console and a deploy
from cron invoke compose identically — including the case where compose has to
run inside the orchestrator's own container, where the paths are that
container's and not the host's.

// Scheduled image updates.
//
// Dockhand kept three containers up to date nightly — unbound, nginx and pihole, which is
// DNS and ingress — and that is the one thing it does that Ham Lab did not. This replaces
// it, and deliberately in the same shape as the ZFS snapshot schedules: a real line in a
// cron file Ham Lab owns, calling the binary, rather than a ticker inside the daemon.
// Updating an image is not something that should stop happening because a web console is
// down, and a cron line is visible to anyone looking at the machine the normal way.
//
// A schedule stores everything the run needs — project, compose files, how compose has to
// be invoked for that stack — so the cron job is self-contained and does not have to
// rediscover the world before it can act.
