rcourtman 911296fa9d Stamp alert platforms so cards stop guessing the policy owner
Two reviews of #2560 found alert cards that still linked to the
wrong platform page and named the wrong inventory owner in the
Monitoring policy menu, because the card guessed the platform.

Metric alerts put a display label in metadata.resourceType ("vSphere
VM", "Kubernetes Pod", "TrueNAS Pool") and carried no platform, so
every Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere metric alert fell through to
Proxmox. A vSphere VM CPU alert said "Proxmox remains the inventory
owner". The unified metric and capacity evaluators now stamp the
canonical platformType beside the label, and connection-degraded
alerts stamp it from their connection type (a TrueNAS connection
alert also linked to Proxmox). The card already reads platformType
ahead of every fallback.

For alerts with no platform metadata, ids and messages carry names
the user chose: a Proxmox guest id embeds its cluster and node names
and a powered-off message names the guest. A VM on node docker-01
went to Docker and named the container runtime (a regression from
#2560's precedence change), a VM in a cluster named agent went to
Machines, and a guest named vmware-test went to vSphere. The card's
fallback now routes by resource type first and lets the id prefix,
id substring and message decide only when the alert has no type.

Libvirt VMs and Unraid arrays arrive through the agent, so their
drawers got "Retiring this machine ... Agent removal remains
available from Machines", which points at the host's agent. The
agent copy is now kept to the agent's own machine; everything else
an agent reports gets the neutral source-system copy. Agent
disk-usage, SMART disk and Unraid array alerts still carry their
host's agent metadata and are left to a separate change. Alerts
restored from before this change gain platformType at their next
full evaluation.

The menu also opened sentences with a lowercase owner label
("container runtime remains the inventory owner"); it now
capitalises the label at sentence start.
