feat(immich): per-album scheduled/memory dispatch + template tooling

Dispatch: honor {kind}_collection_mode on TrackingConfig — "per_collection"
fans out one event per album; "combined" pools assets as before. Extract
build_immich_dispatch_events shared by cron and test paths.

Assets: collect_scheduled_assets attaches album_name/album_url/album_public_url
to each asset so combined-mode templates can attribute rows to their source
album. Default scheduled_assets templates render a multi-album header with
inline album list and per-row album link; memory_mode follows the same pattern.

UI: "Reset to default" buttons on notification and command template slots
(per-slot and whole-template), backed by new GET /*-template-configs/defaults
endpoints. tracking-configs "Preview template" now opens an inline preview
modal with locale tabs instead of navigating away; Edit button deep-links
with ?edit_slot=<name> so the destination auto-opens the config and scrolls
to the slot. Reset confirmations use ConfirmModal instead of window.confirm.

Fixes:
* NotificationDispatcher._session_ctx infinite recursion when no shared
  aiohttp.ClientSession was passed — broke test dispatch for periodic/
  scheduled/memory (cron path was unaffected).
* telegram-bots /chats/{id}/test now resolves chat.language_override /
  language_code instead of using the raw ?locale query param, matching
  the resolution the tracker-target test endpoint already used.
* scheduled_assets default template no longer emits a blank line between
  header and the first asset when the multi-album branch is taken.
