feat(host_agent): a group's updates and reboots on a weekly cadence, one host at a time (#5768)
#5768 "A maintenance cadence: a group's updates and reboots, one host at a
time, on a schedule". A plan names an inventory group, a weekday and time
in a time zone, a window and a reboot policy (only when required by
default). At its slot a run takes the group's hosts in order and gives each
a #5767 maintenance job. The next host starts only when the last is back in
service: its agent is posting and, for a swarm node, the node is active and
every replicated service is at its replicas. A failure stops the run, and
no host is started once the window has passed. A host's latest failure
shows as host_agent/<host>/maintenance_failed, for an ordinary alert rule.
The page is Hosts → Maintenance.

# plugins/host_agent/maintenance.py
"""A host's maintenance job, followed to its end through any restart (#5767).
Steward plans and the host's agent acts: a job is one host's update and, only
when the update says one is needed, its reboot, with the host's swarm node
drained first and made active again after. Each action is one step the agent
hands to its root helper (maint.py, #5766). Everything lives on the job's row,
so Steward restarting, or the host Steward runs on rebooting, loses nothing:
the next post from the agent carries the step's result, and the `started`
event a host sends after booting is what completes a reboot.
The transitions here are model-free (a job is anything with the attributes),
so they're unit-tested without a database; routes.ingest and the scheduler's
tick apply them.
States: queued → updating → [draining →] rebooting → [undraining →] done,
or failed / timed_out. A job with no reboot needed goes updating → done.
