Hidden interfaces, last-seen pings, activity by subnet

- interfaces.exclude in steward.yaml (names or shell patterns) leaves
  interfaces out of GET /interfaces, the web UI's picker and
  'steward interface list'. Subnets on them are still served.
- With the ping check on, active leases are pinged every minute; a
  client that answers gets a last-seen time (leases.last_seen,
  migration 4). Not answering never takes a client offline.
- The activity log filters by subnet (--subnet, the Activity page,
  GET /events?subnet=).
