feat: harden notification service with ntfy-inspired resilience

Adds 7 improvements inspired by ntfy's battle-tested keepalive architecture:

1. onTaskRemoved() restart: When users swipe the app from recents,
   some OEMs kill the foreground service. Now schedules a 1-second
   alarm to restart immediately.

2. onDestroy() → AutoRestartReceiver: When the service is destroyed
   (by system or OEM), broadcasts to AutoRestartReceiver which
   enqueues a one-time WorkManager task to restart. Catches kills
   that START_STICKY might miss.

3. ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException handling: On Android 12+,
   starting a foreground service from background can throw. Now caught
   gracefully instead of crashing.

4. Redundant startForeground() from onStartCommand(): Safety fallback
   in case onCreate() didn't complete before onStartCommand() fired
   (ntfy issue #1520 edge case).

5. WakeLock during notification processing: EventNotificationConsumer
   now acquires a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK with 10-minute timeout to ensure
   CPU stays awake long enough to decrypt and dispatch notifications
   even in Doze mode.

6. Battery optimization exemption: Added REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS
   permission and BatteryOptimizationHelper. Settings screen shows an
   error-colored banner with "Fix now" button when always-on is enabled
   but the app isn't whitelisted.

7. Network-available WorkManager pattern: Added scheduleOnNetworkAvailable()
   to NotificationCatchUpWorker. Enqueues a one-time task with
   NetworkType.CONNECTED constraint so the service restarts immediately
   when connectivity returns, rather than waiting for the next periodic
   worker.
