Revert camera dropdown; add PEER_LINKS for sibling Pis

The dropdown allowed switching the video feed but PTT always pointed at
this Pi's local speaker, so picking a non-co-located camera could have
let a user talk into the wrong room. Each Pi is now hardcoded to the
camera at its own location via CAMERA_NAME, with optional PEER_LINKS to
render quick-jump buttons to sibling doorbell Pis at other URLs.

## Choosing the camera
`server.py` near the top has the list of cameras the page offers:
Each Pi is hardcoded to one camera -- the one whose mic and speaker are
physically co-located with this Pi. The PTT button on this page only
talks to *this* Pi's speaker, so mixing cameras here would let a misclick
talk into the wrong room.
`server.py` near the top:
```python
CAMERAS = ["front_door"]
CAMERA_NAME = "front_door"
```
Each name must match a `go2rtc.streams` entry in
The name must match a `go2rtc.streams` entry in
`frigate_config/config.yml` and the camera must be `enabled: true` in
Frigate. With more than one entry the page shows a dropdown above the
talk button; the choice is remembered per-browser in `localStorage`. The
first entry is the default for new visitors.

Frigate. After editing:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart doorbell
```
## Multiple doorbell Pis
Run one copy of this app per Pi, each on its own subdomain (e.g.
`frontdoor.yourdomain.com`, `backdoor.yourdomain.com`). Add a Caddy
block per subdomain pointing at that Pi's LAN IP -- same shape as the
existing `doorbell.yourdomain.com` block in `../caddy/Caddyfile`.
To render quick-jump buttons to the other Pis at the top of the page,
fill in `PEER_LINKS` near the top of `server.py`:
```python
PEER_LINKS = [
{"label": "Back door", "url": "https://backdoor.yourdomain.com"},
{"label": "Squirrel", "url": "https://squirrel.yourdomain.com"},
]
```
Leave it as `[]` (the default) and the row is hidden. Restart with
`sudo systemctl restart doorbell` after editing.
## Audio stack
ALSA-only -- no PipeWire/PulseAudio. Lighter on the Pi Zero. If you ever
