Roland e51e5fb2fb controller: group services into Core vs Optional & Maintenance
The Controller listed every wrolpi-* service in one flat table, which was
confusing for new users who couldn't tell always-on infrastructure from
one-off/dev/maintenance units.

Services are now split into two groups computed once in the backend and
exposed as `service.group`:

* Core Services      - persistent services enabled at boot (api, app, caddy,
                       kiwix, ...), the normal running system.
* Optional & Maintenance - one-off/dev/maintenance tasks (bootstrap, repair,
                       upgrade, *-dev, discovered wrolpi-*), plus persistent
                       services the user has disabled at boot (e.g. Samba with
                       no shares configured).

Rule: core iff kind == "persistent" and enabled; otherwise optional. Group
membership only changes when the user toggles Boot, never on start/stop or
polling, so rows stay put. Within each group, failed/stopped services sort
first so problems stay visible.

Feature parity across all three render paths: the React ControllerPage, the
server-side Jinja template, and the client-side poll refresh. Docker
containers have no group field and fall back to a single ungrouped list.
