feat(trackers): user filters for Gitea, webhook polling cleanup, dashboard navigability

- Gitea: NotificationTracker now exposes sender allowlist / blocklist filters
  via MultiEntitySelect, populated from Gitea /users/search merged with past
  EventLog senders so the picker is useful before the first webhook arrives.
- Webhook providers (gitea, planka, webhook): stop scheduling interval polling
  jobs on tracker create/update/startup; hide the "every Xs" indicator in the
  tracker list since there is no polling.
- Dashboard: stat cards are now <a> links that route to providers, trackers,
  targets, command-trackers, or scroll to the events panel. Provider deck
  rows highlight the target provider on click.
- Command trackers / command configs: auto-reselect the right config when the
  provider type changes (matches notification-tracker behavior).
- Migration: drop legacy batch_duration column from notification_tracker —
  the field is gone from the model but its NOT NULL constraint blocked
  inserts on older DBs.
- Docs: refresh entity-relationships.md with current NotificationTracker
  fields (filters, adaptive_max_skip, default_*_config_id).
