fix(config): warn on unknown config keys; delete 7 phantom keys from the example (#146)

* fix(config): warn on unknown config keys instead of silently dropping them

_dict_to_dataclass() silently continue'd past any key not in the target
dataclass's field set -- an operator could set a config key, restart, and
have it vanish with zero feedback (config.example.yaml's phantom
mesh_intelligence keys are exactly this bug, fixed separately).

Now logs a WARNING naming the key and the dataclass, hinting at a typo or
a renamed/removed field, via the module's existing _config_logger.

Traced every dynamic/free-form config path to rule out false positives:
notifications.toggles, notifications.destinations, generic_sources,
mesh_sources, and notifications.rules all route through explicit
dict-of-dataclass or verbatim-passthrough handling and never spuriously
warn. Two legitimate legacy shapes DO hit the strict field-check path with
keys that were never (and will never be) dataclass fields:

- notifications.channels (pre-v0.5 channel list), consumed directly from
  the raw dict by _migrate_legacy_channels
- notifications.region_routes.enabled (pre mt/mc-split master switch),
  read directly by the explicit region_routes handler

Both are allowlisted in _KNOWN_LEGACY_DROP_KEYS so users mid-migration
don't get spurious noise on every load.

Added tests/test_config_loader.py coverage: unknown key warns and does
not raise, both legacy shapes stay silent, and the free-form/dynamic
sections never warn for keys valid on their real target shape.

* fix(config): remove phantom config.example.yaml keys, add missing live ones

The new unknown-key warning (previous commit) caught config.example.yaml
loading with SEVEN warnings, all real drift -- none were false positives
of the warning itself:

mesh_intelligence block shipped three keys with no MeshIntelligenceConfig
field and no implementation anywhere (git log -S confirms they were never
built, not leftovers from a removal):
  - region_radius_miles, infra_overrides, region_labels
These only made sense under an older auto-clustering design; what
actually exists is explicit region anchors (regions: list[RegionAnchor]).
Deleted from both the live block and the commented-out example above it,
and added the four fields that DO exist and are live but were missing
from the example: regions, critical_nodes, alert_channel, alert_rules.

Also fixed the now-misleading comment at
dashboard/api/mesh_routes.py:281, which referenced region_labels --
comment only, no code change.

notifications block shipped a whole quiet-hours subsystem that was
deliberately ripped out (commit b948ed77, "silent is better than ugly")
and never implemented as override_quiet -- confirmed by zero readers and
zero dataclass fields anywhere in meshai/:
  - quiet_hours_enabled, quiet_hours_start, quiet_hours_end
  - override_quiet (on 4 rule entries, including "Emergency Broadcast",
    which falsely implied emergency alerts bypass quiet hours)
Deleted; no quiet-hours feature implemented (out of scope -- product
decision for the owner).

config.example.yaml now loads with exactly zero warnings: the loader and
the example finally agree.
