feat: generic threshold matching for nagios_runner with {check_name} display support

_find_threshold() now returns the stripped prefix ("check_name") alongside
the ThresholdConfig, enabling a single generic entry (e.g. nagios_runner.status_code)
to cover all per-command metrics (check_disk_root_status_code, check_load_status_code,
…). The prefix is threaded through to _format_display() as {check_name}, with
{metric_name} also available in display templates. purge_stale_alerts() updated
to use generic matching so it does not incorrectly drop alerts on generic-matched
metrics. README updated with Display Format Templates and Generic Threshold
Matching sections.

"""Return (threshold, check_name) for *metric_path*, falling back to suffix matches.
Allows generic thresholds like ``ping_monitor.rtt_avg`` to match
fully-qualified paths like ``ping_monitor.8_8_8_8_rtt_avg``.
Allows generic thresholds like ``nagios_runner.status_code`` to match
fully-qualified paths like ``nagios_runner.check_disk_root_status_code``.
The exact match is always tried first; then successive leading
underscore-delimited segments are stripped from the field name until
a match is found or no segments remain.
Returns:
(ThresholdConfig, None) for an exact match.
(ThresholdConfig, "check_disk_root") for a suffix match — the second
element is the stripped prefix, available as ``{check_name}`` in
display format templates.
