Alerts to a JSON webhook, with a cooldown and an hourly summary (closes #26)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

SWWAF_ALERT_WEBHOOK_URL gets one JSON POST per alert, in SPEC.md's
schema, with SWWAF_ALERT_WEBHOOK_HEADERS: ban and permanent_ban, with
the ban's notes; source_failure for GeoJS; file_error for a rule or
state file edit that does not parse and a failed state write.
SWWAF_ALERT_EVENTS chooses, SWWAF_ALERT_COOLDOWN holds back repeats,
and past SWWAF_ALERT_MAX_PER_HOUR the hour ends in one summary. A
bounded queue, retried with backoff, holds up no request; alerts.json
keeps it, the cooldowns and the hour. The ledger now reports whether it
made a ban, or made one permanent.

Judgement call: the summary's event is summary, which SPEC.md omits.
Judgement call: admin bans and observe mode raise no alert.
