Staged undo, built-ins window, machine warnings; raw and dynamic set fixes

- Undo is staged like any edit: in review mode the web UI's Undo, and hc
  history undo with -C or HOUSECARL_CHANGESET, add a revert operation
  that checks, when replayed, that nothing it touches changed since;
  applied, History links the entries. Imports and takeovers still can't
  be staged.
- The rules page sums up a chain's built-ins in one line; a window lists
  them with what they do and their hits, and switches them.
- Warnings about the machine (dashboard, hc status): nftables.service
  enabled (it loads /etc/nftables.conf at boot and flushes every table
  when stopped), and the imported table still in force beside
  Housecarl's. The docs say to disable nftables.service but not stop it.
- A raw rule with other fields set is refused (raw_conflict) instead of
  silently ignoring them; the rule dialog's nftables section hides what
  it replaces, and the importer's raw rules carry only their text.
- A dynamic set with configured entries is refused
  (set_dynamic_entries): they were silently ignored. The set dialog
  shows entries or the entry timeout, as fits.
- The rule dialog's chain choices are just the chains' names.

The web UI collects edits as pending changes by default (pending rows,
