docs+chore(localdb): phase-2 rig config + docs

Enables the alarm store-and-forward sink on all four driver nodes of the
docker-dev rig -- the replicating site-a pair and the default-OFF site-b pin
-- so the live gate has a real buffer to watch converge, and can see that
site-b's sink works as a plain node-local queue with no peer traffic.

Two rig details worth stating rather than rediscovering. The endpoint is
deliberately unresolvable: there is no HistorianGateway here, so every drain
attempt fails, which is exactly the historian-outage state the buffer exists
for. But it still has to be a syntactically valid absolute http(s) URI or the
host refuses to start, because ServerHistorianOptionsValidator is
consumer-gated -- AlarmHistorian:Enabled=true makes the endpoint required
even while ServerHistorian:Enabled=false. And MaxAttempts is raised far above
the production default of 10, which against a permanently unreachable gateway
would dead-letter the entire queue about five minutes in, turning a buffering
test into a dead-letter test.

Docs record what an operator now has to know: that a rising queue depth on a
Secondary is correct and on BOTH nodes is not (that shape is a redundancy
snapshot naming neither node -- check node identity before suspecting the
sink), that delivery is at-least-once across a failover by design with no
dedup layer, and that AlarmHistorian:DatabasePath is removed but should be
left in place through the upgrade because the migrator still reads it to find
the file to copy.

`ZB.MOM.WW.HistorianGateway.Client` gRPC package (the retired Wonderware TCP sidecar is documented at
[`docs/drivers/Historian.Wonderware.md`](drivers/Historian.Wonderware.md)). The OtOpcUa host reads three
appsettings sections — `ServerHistorian` (read path + gateway connection), `ContinuousHistorization`
(FasterLog outbox + recorder draining to `WriteLiveValues`), and `AlarmHistorian` (SQLite store-and-forward

(FasterLog outbox + recorder draining to `WriteLiveValues`), and `AlarmHistorian` (the store-and-forward
alarm sink draining to `SendEvent`; its buffer lives in the node's `LocalDb:Path` database, not a
file of its own). The gateway connection (endpoint / key / TLS) lives **only** in
`ServerHistorian`; the other two sections source it from there.
The gateway API key is supplied via the environment variable **`ServerHistorian__ApiKey`** — never committed
