fix(starlark): blank app locations use the device location, not San Francisco (#617)

* fix(starlark): blank app locations use the device location, not San Francisco

A Starlark (Tidbyt) app whose Location field is blank rendered at its
author's hard-coded DEFAULT_LOCATION -- usually San Francisco -- even with
the device city set under General settings. A user in Charlotte, NC got San
Francisco weather and radar with nothing in config.json to explain it.

src/device_location.py fills unset location fields at render time (display
plugin and the web standalone render): the device city is geocoded once via
Open-Meteo, preferring a match in the configured state/country, and cached
permanently. A saved location always wins; if the lookup fails the field is
dropped so the app uses its own default, and the failure is not retried for
30 minutes.

Also fixes the config form: clearing a location omitted the key, and the
save merges, so the old value could never be removed.

* docs(starlark): say what happens when the device location can't be used

A blank app Location only renders at the device's city when one is set and
the Open-Meteo lookup finds it. With no city, no match, or the geocoder
unreachable (retried after 30 minutes), the app gets no location and keeps
its author's default. The guide, the config page hint, CONFIG_REFERENCE and
the CHANGELOG entry now say so.

Open-Meteo and cached) instead of the app author's hard-coded default,
usually San Francisco. A location saved on the app still wins. With no
device city set, or when the lookup fails or finds no match, the app keeps
its own default (a failed lookup is retried after 30 minutes). Clearing an
app's location in the web UI now actually clears it; the save used to drop
the blank field, so the old value stayed.
