v0.4.0 - NIM installer + dashboard resilience

Hotfix (was v0.3.1):
- services.py: cache 'unreachable' per (host,user) for 25s so a dead Spark doesn't hang every /api/services call behind 6s ssh timeout
- ssh_run timeout reduced 10 -> 6s for docker_state probes
- hardware probe: shorter SSH timeout (6s), longer cache TTL for failures (25s)
- JS pollStatus retries loadModels() if state.models is empty (recovers from cold-start proxy timeout)
- Unreachable hardware card now includes troubleshooting steps (Spark Control cannot SSH into an unreachable Spark to restart it)

v0.4 NIM installer:
- nim.py module: curated SUGGESTED_NIMS list (Parakeet, Magpie, Riva) + NimManager that runs docker login nvcr.io + docker pull + docker run -d --gpus all -p PORT:PORT -v VOL:/opt/nim/.cache -e NGC_API_KEY -e ... --restart=unless-stopped + chown the volume to uid 1000 + restart. Streams all output via SSE; redacts the API key from log lines.
- custom_services.py: persists installed NIMs to /data/services-overrides.yaml so they appear in the services panel after install
- services.py: merges custom services into the panel
- /api/nim/catalog GET, /api/nim/install POST + GET/SSE
- /api/services/{name} DELETE for custom services
- UI: '+ Install NIM' button next to 'Always-on services'; modal lists curated images each with a 'Pick' button + a custom-image form; installation runs in a second dialog with phase + elapsed timer + collapsible log
- NGC API key field added to Configure Sparks (masked); injected as NGC_API_KEY env var into the container

Package: bump 0.4.0:0; main.ts adds SERVICES_OVERRIDES + NGC_API_KEY env vars
