feat(admin): ask the panel to restart, from verdande's own settings
Release / Build and publish image (push) Failing after 10m2s

A container cannot replace its own image from the inside, so "update" is really
"ask whoever owns the container to recreate it" — Yggdrasil pulls `:latest` on the
way, which is what makes a restart an update at all. This removes the second
browser tab, not the panel's authority: the panel still does the work and still
records who asked.

Three settings, needed together, and the page names whichever are missing — an
operator reading "not configured" should not have to go and find out which of
three. The token is never sent to a browser; the page is told only whether it is
set.

Answers 202 rather than waiting. The panel stops this container as part of
answering, so the reply may never arrive, and a request cut off mid-flight is the
successful case wearing a failure's clothes. The interface believes neither answer
and polls /healthz until it responds.

Administrators only, and sessions only. A leaked API token that could restart the
server is a denial of service in one request.
