Dingtian harden(): rotate the admin/admin web login (cosmetic)

harden() now rotates the device's default admin/admin web-UI login via
GET /userset.cgi?<old>&<old>&<new>&<new>& (best-effort: a failure logs
and doesn't fail the assign). The new password is stored back in config
(webUser/webPassword) so a re-run can rotate again, and is stripped from
the assign response like the push secret.

Documented the load-bearing caveat: this device's CGI API is fully
UNAUTHENTICATED — config read/write, relay fire, and userset.cgi itself
all return 200 with no credentials (verified on hardware). admin/admin
gates only the browser UI, and there's no inbound-auth setting (only
session_en, which bricks the read API). So the rotation is defence-in-
depth for the UI, NOT a boundary; the signed event log remains the real
anti-fraud guarantee. Verified rotation end-to-end on 10.0.10.5
(success &0&, wrong-old-pw &2&); device left at admin/admin.

# Dingtian Relay Controller

The `dingtian` driver ([[device-registry]]) implements three capabilities:
`AccessControlDevice` (relay pulse/latch over UDP), `InputDevice` (read inputs + poll-based
press/release events ~50 ms), and `PreconditionDevice` (below). Config fields include a separate
**`httpPort`** — the device's web/config API is on a configurable HTTP port (this unit: **8080**,
not the default 80), distinct from the UDP control port 60001.

## Hardening (`harden()`) — and why HTTP auth is not a boundary here
On assign the driver runs `harden()` (the [[device-registry|HardenableDevice]] capability):
1. **`relay_pw`** — set a random relay password so binary relay commands (UDP 60000) need it.
2. **Disable unused channels** — set `p:255` on rs485/can/tcp×2/mqtt; keep only UDP1 binary
(relay control) + UDP2 string (status read).
3. **Rotate the `admin`/`admin` web login** — `GET /userset.cgi?<old_u>&<old_p>&<new_u>&<new_p>&`
(response `&0&…&` = success, verified on hardware). The new password is stored back in
config (`webUser`/`webPassword`) so a re-run can rotate again (the device checks the *old*
creds). This step is **best-effort** — a failure logs and does not fail the assign.

source = the device IP). No polling. Host-in-the-loop entry (`button → backend → ticket →
backend opens relay`) is real.
