Aleksei Sviridkin 3d610b7c31 feat(monitoring): add optional email receiver to alertmanager (#3800)
## What this PR does

Adds an optional email receiver configured through
`alerta.alerts.email`. It is disabled by default. Alerts carrying
`notify_email="true"` are emailed when their severity is in
`severities`, which defaults to critical and major. `alertnames` also
selects platform alerts without changing their rules. Earlier heartbeat
and blackhole routes keep precedence. Email routes preserve the Alerta
copy through a preceding route with `continue: true`, and they inherit
the root `group_by`, so Alerta and email agree on how many notifications
one alert produces.

The SMTP password is read from a Secret with a fixed name,
`alertmanager-email-password`, mounted through
`VMAlertmanager.spec.secrets` and referenced by `auth_password_file`
when `authUsername` is set. The platform operator creates that Secret.
The name is not configurable, because a tenant-chosen name would let a
`Monitoring` writer mount any Secret of the namespace into Alertmanager
and send its `password` key to an SMTP host of their choosing, and no
tenant role can read those Secrets by any other route.

`to` takes an address or a comma-separated list, and `from` takes one
address, each with an optional display name. The accepted form is
narrower than RFC 5322 on purpose, so that a bad address fails the
render instead of being dropped when the first alert fires. The local
part must be a dot-atom. A display name is a run of atoms or quoted
strings without the specials `net/mail` rejects in a phrase. A domain
literal must hold a dotted-quad IPv4 address. IPv6 literals are rejected
because their syntax differs across Go mail parser versions. Template
actions are rejected, because Alertmanager expands both fields as
templates before it parses them. Quoted local parts, comments and a
pasted `mailto:` prefix fail the render as well.

`smarthost` must be `host:port`, where the host is a host name or a
bracketed IP address. A bracketed value must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6
address, so `[deadbeef]:25` and `[1:2:3:4::5:6:7:8]:25` fail the render.
The port must be between 1 and 65535 and must not have leading zeros, so
`smtp.example.org:0465` fails too. `repeatInterval` is checked with
Alertmanager's own duration grammar and limits. Units go in descending
order, each at most once, and the value must be non-zero and below the
int64 overflow, so what renders is what Alertmanager loads. Partial
configuration fails the render and names the fields still set, so
clearing the addresses to turn email off tells the operator which
leftovers to clear. Subject and body templates are not exposed.
Alertmanager parses them per notification, and a broken one surfaces
only in a log the tenant cannot read.

Checks run for this change.

- The monitoring chart suites pass with 228 tests in
`packages/system/monitoring` and 16 in `packages/extra/monitoring`. 117
of them are in the two email test files.
- 234 address inputs were rendered through the chart. 91 were accepted
and 143 rejected. Every accepted input executes as a template and passes
`net/mail.ParseAddressList`, including the one-address check for `from`,
on Go 1.25.8, 1.26.4 and 1.27.1.
- Widening the IPv4 octet from `25[0-5]` to `25[0-9]` fails 4 tests.
Putting back the loose `\[[0-9A-Fa-f:.]+\]` domain literal fails 19
tests. Replacing the group-count guard for compressed IPv6 smarthosts
with `true` fails the `[1:2:3:4::5:6:7:8]:25` test.
- `make generate` with cozyvalues-gen v1.6.0 leaves the tree unchanged.
SMTP delivery against a real relay has not been tested.

### Screenshots

No dashboard/UI change.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff. `packages/extra/monitoring`
gains values fields, so its README and schema changed. `monitoring` is
in the website Makefile `SERVICES` list, and that reference page
regenerates from `README.md` automatically on the next stable tag, so
there is no manual follow-up to link. The terraform provider does not
model the monitoring service, as there is no such resource under
`internal/provider`, so there is nothing to update there either. No
package is added or renamed, and no CRD, tooling or node contract is
touched.
