A (host, service) pair is flapping once it exceeds flap_count warning or
critical notifications within flap_interval minutes. The notification that
trips the state carries "Now flapping!! No more messages!" and every later
one is dropped, including RECOVER. The state ends silently flap_interval
minutes after a RECOVER, provided no further alert arrived meanwhile.
Hooked into notify.send_notification, the single choke point for channel
delivery, so only outbound notifications are suppressed — eventlog keeps
recording, leaving the journal and /log with the full history of the flap.
Threshold alerts key on their metric path, so a flapping disk check cannot
silence a CPU alert; connectivity, boot and shutdown events key on the host
itself. State lives at module level in flap.py and is never pickled.
Flapping pairs surface in Host.stateinfo() and render as an amber badge on
the live dashboard. Config: flap_count (5), flap_interval (10 minutes),
0 in either disables; both editable on the settings page.

Adds structured form fields for nsupdate_bin, rndc_key, and dyndomains
(comma-separated list). Wires list-type editable fields through the
generic stageFormSection path and adds DNS support to
apply_structured_section in configio.

- Remove dyndnshosts legacy list; dyndns is now set per-host in the hosts section
- Remove drophosts config key and load-time deletion loop
- Simplify get_dyndnshosts() to only read per-host dyndns attributes
- Fix dns_update_worker to call eventlog with correct (host, level, msg) signature
- Log INFO/ERROR events per domain on each DNS update instead of one batched message
- Add logger to dns.py (was missing, causing NameError on update failure)
- Update README and tests to reflect removed config keys

Settings > Hosts now renders a table with per-column controls
(watch, dyndns, owner, managers/monitors multi-select, threshold
config, notification channels) instead of a raw YAML textarea.
Changes stage via the existing Publish flow like other form sections.

Notification channels are now managed through a proper web form instead
of a raw YAML textarea. Any authenticated user can create channels; private
channels (owner-scoped) are hidden from other users. The user profile
channel selector becomes a tag/chip picker with a "My Channels" CRUD section.
- settings.py: add CHANNEL_TYPE_SCHEMAS for all 6 notifier types; channel
section switches to section_mode="channels"; cards include owner/private/min_level
- configio.py: add apply_channel() and delete_channel() for per-entry CRUD
- notify.py: strip owner/private metadata before dispatching to drivers
- http.py: add GET/POST /api/0/notification_channels, PUT/DELETE /{name},
GET /api/0/notification_channel_types; visibility helper filters private
channels per user; PUT /api/0/users/me validates against visible channels
- settings.html: card grid with edit/delete per channel; add/edit modal
with type dropdown and dynamically rendered type-specific fields
- profile.html: chip picker replaces checkbox list; My Channels section
for creating/editing/deleting user-owned channels
- tests: update test_settings_sections, test_http_users_me; add
test_notification_channels_api (16 new tests, 46 total passing)
