ScreenTinker 275e1683b8 Report the screen's own IP, and make the Wi-Fi name an honest optional
A customer read the device page's IP as their screen's address and reported it as wrong.
It was not wrong, it was a different thing: devices.ip_address is the PUBLIC address the
server sees the connection arrive from. Both are useful — you want the public one to
recognise a site, and the local one to actually reach the panel — so the page now shows
each, labelled.

The player already computed its own address for the connectivity report; it just never
reported it. Read straight off the interfaces, so Ethernet panels get it too, and it needs
no permission. Stored on device_telemetry beside wifi_ssid/wifi_rssi, where the
per-heartbeat network facts already live, rather than as another devices column.

The same customer saw "Unknown" for the Wi-Fi name and assumed it needed device-owner
access. It needs LOCATION: Android 8.1+ returns the literal "<unknown ssid>" to an app
without it. So "Unknown" was us reporting a permission gap as if the network had no name.

The player now distinguishes not-allowed-to-know from genuinely-no-Wi-Fi, and the page says
"Needs location permission" instead of a blank. The permission is declared but NEVER
requested at startup and nothing else uses it — a signage player demanding location to
display a network name is a bad trade. It is an opt-in row on the setup screen, using the
same Enable/Manage pattern, and refusing it changes that one field and nothing else.

Also caught by the test suite, and worth recording: the first version of this dropped the
comma in the device SELECT list ("t.uptime_seconds t.local_ip"), which 500'd the endpoint
and failed seven tests that never mention telemetry. Verified end to end afterwards —
public and local addresses both returned, distinct, from a real request.
