sky-cam: retire motionEye via direct RTSP capture, drop Frigate detour

capture.sh already replaces motionEye/any NVR itself - it just needs
each camera's RTSP URL. services/sky-cam.sh never actually prompted for
CAM_RTSP_<cam>, so capture/audio never had anything to connect to.

- Prompt per camera for its RTSP URL -> CAM_RTSP_<cam> in .env
- Prompt for sunrise mic / optional ambient audio library
- Fix Mattermost integration: sunrise2mm.py reads mattermost_url/
  access_token/channel_id (bot-token REST upload), not the
  MM_WEBHOOK_URL/MM_CHANNEL incoming-webhook scheme the installer used
  to write - uploads never worked before this
- Add optional ntfy push notifications
- Auto-generate SCHEDULE_SEASONS_<cam> (staggered 30 min apart) for
  every configured camera, not just the stock east/north/south, so
  install.sh wires up every applicable systemd timer for any camera set

Removes services/sky-cam-frigate.sh entirely - routing sky-cam's frames
through Frigate (via export API or restream) turned out to be solving a
problem that doesn't exist; sky-cam's own capture.sh talking directly to
each camera is simpler and has no quality/resolution tradeoffs. Frigate
continues to run fully independently for NVR/detection.

# NON-DOCKER module. sky-cam produces:
# • Daily sunrise clip — speed-adjusted video, uploaded to Mattermost
# • Daily sunrise clip — speed-adjusted video (+ optional audio), uploaded to Mattermost
# • Four Seasons timelapse — daily clips sized to Vivaldi movements' music
# • Full-day timelapse — fixed-fps timelapse of every captured image
# • Moon-track timelapse — moon tracked & cropped each visible night
# • Monthly moon-phase close-ups — NASA Dial-a-Moon images posted to MM
#
# No motionEye or any NVR required — sky-cam's own capture.sh connects
# directly to each camera's RTSP stream and grabs frames itself
# (CAM_RTSP_<cam> in .env is the only thing capture.sh and the optional
# sunrise-audio/ambient-audio recorders need). This installer prompts for
# that per camera, so install.sh can generate every applicable systemd
# timer/service (capture, watchdog, sunrise, audio, ambient, moon jobs,
# per-camera seasons clips) in one pass.
