Show an unreachable origin in the web UI (step 19)

Browse Source 
A watcher that cannot fetch leaves the server perfectly reachable and
every branch row stale — a calm list that implies nothing changed. The
state was already recorded and served at /api/watcher; only nothing
rendered it.

The banner lives in the shared nav fragment, so every view inherits it,
and is fed from the view's own polling tick without being chained to it.
It stays separate from live-indicator: that one reports whether the
browser reaches the server, this one whether the server reaches origin.

Also caps the log volume the outage exposed: a lasting fetch failure is
logged when its message changes, not on every cycle, and the recovery is
logged once. Same for an invalid atTimes slot.

## Web UI
The UI is server-rendered Thymeleaf (`UiController`, templates under `src/main/resources/templates/`) plus one hand-written JavaScript file (`static/gittally.js`) — no SPA framework, no frontend build pipeline. Pages render the full state server-side; the script then polls the JSON API and re-renders table bodies from data. Every fetch has a timeout and failures flip an explicit error badge — never re-fetch and diff whole HTML pages, and never leave a spinner without an error path (the legacy defect). Polling pauses while the tab is hidden. `UiFormats`/`gittally.js` must produce the same display formats (timestamps, durations).
Two independent staleness signals, never merged: the `live-indicator` badge says whether *this browser* reaches the server, and the `watcher-banner` (fed from `/api/watcher`, in the shared `nav` fragment) says whether the *server* reaches origin — a watcher that cannot fetch leaves the server perfectly reachable and every row stale.
