Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.7 fb47807f70 feat(telnet): add port-17000 migration method and account pairing
Adds an SSH-free third migration path that drives the SoundTouch device's
diagnostic shell on TCP port 17000, plus a hardened replacement for the
fragile /setMargeAccount HTTP pairing call.

* `pkg/telnet` — new reusable, dependency-free client (sibling of `pkg/ssh`)
  with deadline-driven Dial / Probe / SendCommand / Close. Mock-server tests
  cover happy path, command-not-found, mid-stream close, and the wedged-device
  read-timeout scenario.

* `setup.MigrationMethodTelnet` — runs `sys configuration` for all four URLs
  plus the parallel `envswitch boseurls set` persistence layer that otherwise
  wins on reboot, then verifies with `getpdo CurrentSystemConfiguration`.
  Aborts on the first non-OK response so configuration is never half-written.
  No SSH backup or rw pre-flight (the path is SSH-free by design).

* `setup.PairAccount` — probes :8090/supportedURLs first, time-bounds
  POST /setMargeAccount aggressively (5s connect / 12s total) to avoid the
  hangs reported in #236, and falls back to `envswitch accountid set <id>`
  over telnet when the HTTP endpoint is missing or wedged. Returns a
  PairAccountResult breadcrumb so the UI can show which path actually
  succeeded.

* `setup.Reboot(deviceIP, method)` — gains a RebootMethod selector;
  RebootMethodSSH stays the default (preserving prior behavior),
  RebootMethodTelnet sends `sys reboot` over a fresh telnet session and
  treats the inevitable socket-close as success.

* New endpoints on `/setup`:
  - GET  /account-id-suggestions/{deviceId} — returns the device's current
    margeAccountUUID (from :8090/info) plus known account IDs from the
    datastore, so the UI can offer reuse.
  - POST /pair-account/{deviceId}?account_id=NNNNNNN — invokes PairAccount;
    the existing reboot endpoint reads ?method=ssh|telnet from the query
    string.

* Helpers `IsValidAccountID` (exactly 7 digits) and `GenerateAccountID`
  (crypto/rand, retries on collision against a known-IDs list).

Documentation in docs/analysis/TELNET-MIGRATION-METHOD.md is updated to match
the implementation: bare-URL convention for `soundtouch-service`, no automatic
`sys reboot` (user-initiated via the existing button with a method selector),
and the realised package layout. The /etc/hosts method is intentionally not
exposed in the new flow.
