HyperDeck hold switches its Companion connection off and on

Browse Source 
After a deck restarts, Companion's HyperDeck connection does not come back
by itself and a plain restart of the connection does not help; switching
it off and on does. Each HD key's hold now does exactly that (even when it
looks green), waits 15 s and checks: DONE, STILL OFFLINE (deck pings) or
NO NETWORK. Decks are no longer rebooted by the panel; a recording deck is
left alone. Tested live on HD2 (off/on, reconnected in 17 s).

**The Dante map is automatic.** Every 10 minutes the watchdog maps each Dante device: its name and IP from Companion, its MAC from NA Ingest's Dante port, and its switch port and PoE from the Netgear switches listed in `"dante_switches"`. It saves the map to `dante-map.json` in its data folder. Re-patching, adding or renaming a device needs no config change. A device that has been dead for a while ages out of the switch tables, so its last known port is used, but only if no other device has appeared there. A port carrying more than 2 devices (an uplink) is never power-cycled. The switch login is in NA Ingest's login keychain (service `netgear-status-panel`).
