Judge filesystem alerts by their own threshold on config save

A config save re-judges every active alert. Agent filesystem alerts
were re-judged by the host disk threshold, ignoring the filesystem's
own override and the per-type DiskFillByType threshold CheckHost uses.
Guest filesystem alerts were resolved by their "<guestID>-disk-<key>"
resource ID, which matches no guest-disk override and names no guest,
so the guest's own override was missed too. A filesystem override of
70 raised an alert at 80 under a default of 90; saving any alert
setting resolved it and sent a recovery, and the next poll raised it
again as a new alert.

CheckHost and CheckGuest now resolve a filesystem's threshold through
hostDiskUsageThresholdNoLock and guestDiskUsageThresholdNoLock, and
reevaluation calls the same helpers: resolveHostAlertThresholdsNoLock
for agent filesystem alerts, and a new resolveGuestAlertThresholdsNoLock
that resolves a guest filesystem alert's guest by the ID
parseGuestAlertIdentity reads from its resource ID. The helpers return
override and per-type thresholds as owned copies, so evaluation still
never normalizes the live config.

TestConfigSaveJudgesFilesystemAlertsByTheirOwnThreshold covers an
agent filesystem override, an NVMe fill threshold, a guest filesystem
override and a guest override. With host.go, guest.go and
config_runtime.go overlaid by their origin/main or #2696 copies, all
four fail: the unchanged save resolves the alert.

Stacked on #2696.

+### Config-save reevaluation judges a filesystem alert by its own threshold
+
+`UpdateConfig` re-judges every active alert, and a filesystem usage alert's
+threshold resolves through the same per-filesystem helper its evaluator uses.
+`hostDiskUsageThresholdNoLock` resolves an agent filesystem
+(`agent:<host>/disk:<label>`): its own override, then the `DiskFillByType`
+threshold for a hardware type inferred from the device while the host's disk
+alerting is on, then the host's disk threshold. `guestDiskUsageThresholdNoLock`
+resolves a guest filesystem (`<guestID>-disk-<key>`): its `guest-disk:`
+override, then the guest's disk threshold. `CheckHost` and `CheckGuest` call
+them under the read lock, and `resolveHostAlertThresholdsNoLock` and
+`resolveGuestAlertThresholdsNoLock` call them for reevaluation. Both return an
+override or per-type threshold as an owned copy. A guest filesystem alert
+resolves its guest's threshold, override and identity-based custom rules by the
+canonical `instance:node:vmid` guest ID that `parseGuestAlertIdentity` reads
+from its resource ID. Custom rules that filter on live metrics still see no
+readings there, as for every reevaluated guest alert. Reevaluation used to
+judge agent filesystems by the host threshold, and guest filesystems without
+their `guest-disk:` override or the guest's own override, because the
+filesystem's resource ID names no guest. Any settings save resolved an alert a
+per-disk threshold of 70 raised at 80 under a default of 90, notifying
+recovery, and the next poll raised it again as a new alert.
+`internal/alerts/threshold_resolution_shared_test.go`
+`TestConfigSaveJudgesFilesystemAlertsByTheirOwnThreshold` covers an agent
+filesystem override, an NVMe fill threshold, a guest filesystem override and a
+guest override: an unchanged save must keep the alert, and a save lifting the
+trigger above the reading must resolve it.
