Subject: [PATCH] fix: deduplicate TLS expiry warnings to prevent notification
 spam (closes #18)

checkTLSExpiry fired every monitoring cycle with no deduplication,
causing notification spam for expiring certificates. Added an
in-memory map tracking the last notification time per domain/IP
pair, suppressing re-notification within the TLS check interval.

Added TestTLSExpiryWarningDedup to verify deduplication works.
