Tobias Gesellchen 69010f766e docs: document Lifestyle/console POWER-key behavior and input isolation
On Bose Lifestyle/CineMate consoles, the SoundTouch module is one input
among several, and #160 already established the input can't be switched
from the SoundTouch side. This adds a troubleshooting section covering:

- source="LOCAL" in /now_playing with LOCAL absent from /sources means
  the console is on a different input, not that the content is invalid.
- POST /key POWER is not a harmless "stop playback" on these devices like
  it is on a plain speaker — it puts the console into standby, and on
  waking it returns to the console's OWN input, not back to SoundTouch.
  A test loop that uses POWER between trials silently drops off
  SoundTouch after the first trial, so every later station reports
  INVALID_SOURCE regardless of whether it would actually play fine.

Also adds a cross-reference caveat to the `key power` row in
TELNET-COMMAND-REFERENCE.md, whose existing "no observable effect on FW
27.x" note is speaker-only phrasing that doesn't hold for these consoles.
