MCP-7 #4971 "Monitoring-config write tools: monitors, alert rules, acks,
maintenance".

The validation the forms did inline (or not at all) moves to the services,
and both the routes and the tools call it, so bad input is refused the same
way with the same reason:
- monitors/service: monitor_fields, build_config, normalise_target. Port
  1-65535, status 100-599, timeout 1-60, method GET/HEAD/POST, headers an
  object of strings, a key the type does not take is named. The forms now
  answer 400 with the reason instead of redirecting silently or a 500.
- alerts/service: METRIC_CATALOG and SOURCE_MODULES, resources_for,
  metrics_for, rule_fields (source, resource and metric from the same
  choices the rule form offers), add_rule, acknowledge, window_fields.

Tools: create_monitor, update_monitor (config merged over the stored one;
a rename warns about rules still watching the old name),
set_monitor_enabled, create_alert_rule, update_alert_rule,
acknowledge_alert, create_maintenance_window (duration or end),
end_maintenance_window (ends one in progress, cancels an upcoming one) —
operator. delete_monitor, delete_alert_rule — admin. get_alert_rule_options
— viewer. Every write is audited as "<user> via MCP".
