feat(tools): manage the MQTT bridge and Pixlet editor from the Tools tab

PR #544's change, ported onto the api_v3 package split (#553). Identical
behaviour; only the placement of the new code differs.

The original added 508 lines to web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py, which #553
deletes, so every hunk of it would conflict irreconcilably. Ported by AST:
26 new top-level items sorted to where the split puts each kind --

  __init__.py   2 imports, 11 constants, 7 helpers
  starlark.py   4 routes  (/starlark/editor/{apps,status,start,stop})
  misc.py       2 routes  (/integrations/mqtt-bridge{,/config})

Everything outside api_v3.py -- the Tools partial, the installer scripts, the
JS tests -- applied unchanged.

Routes: 111 from the split plus these 6 = 117, and the url-map snapshot is
regenerated to match, which is exactly what test_api_v3_url_map.py is designed
to make you do when routes are added.

Full Python suite: 4,278 passed, 68 skipped, 0 failed. The JS tests this PR
ships could not be run here -- node is not installed on this machine -- so
test/js/dom/test_tools_sections.js is unverified.

# Binds loopback only, and there is deliberately no flag to change that:
# `pixlet serve` has no authentication, and anything that can reach it can
# rewrite the app's config. To edit from another machine, forward the port --
# which authenticates as SSH and leaves nothing listening on the LAN:
# Binds the LAN by default, matching the web interface, which already serves
# 0.0.0.0:5000 with no authentication -- anything that can reach this can
# already reconfigure the display there. `pixlet serve` has no authentication
# either, so treat both the same way: fine on a home network, not on an open
# one. Override the bind and the session length with:
#
# PIXLET_EDITOR_HOST=127.0.0.1 ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh <app>
# PIXLET_EDITOR_TIMEOUT=600 ./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh <app>
#
# For loopback-only editing from another machine, forward the port instead:
#
# ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 pi@ledpi.local
#
# The session always ends by itself after PIXLET_EDITOR_TIMEOUT seconds
# (default 30 minutes). The display is stopped while editing, so a session
# left open would otherwise leave the panel dark indefinitely -- the timeout
# is what makes it safe to start one from the web interface.
