Improve DHCP static leases interface (alternative)

[rdwebdesign]

What does this PR aim to accomplish?

This is an alternative attempt to create a better user interface to edit Static DHCP leases.

This version is based on #3565 and all previous commits were kept, to avoid losing authorship credits.

Main differences found on this version:

• the "hint" is shown below the table, instead of on a table row;
• the textarea can't be changed before all changes made on the table are finished, to avoid losing changes;
• save button is shown only when needed;
• button tooltips are shown;
• only invalid cells are highlighted (no more green cells);
• validation is now enforced for hostnames when saving (like other values);
• IPv6 must be enclosed in brackets;
• a few style adjustements.

This looks really nice now.
I noticed, that we do a IP validation when entering via the table field, but not when entered via the text area. Invalid IPs won't be shown in the table (with a red background) but are completely empty. I wonder if we should show it but give it the red background instead?

[rdwebdesign]

Hmmmm... What did you type in your test?

I'm not sure if we can validate that in every case.

The issue here is: we don't have a fixed number of items to make sure the second one is always an IP.

On the table, we can always say the second column should be an IP, but when the text is typed on the textarea, the second item can be a hostname... or an invalid IP, or many other options.
How to tell them apart?

[yubiuser]

You are correct - we can't know that the second item in from the textarea is an invalid IP when it could also be something different (id, tag). Scratch my idea.

Pull request overview

This PR provides an alternative UX for managing static DHCP leases by introducing an editable table view that stays in sync with the underlying dhcp.hosts textarea, while improving validation, tooltips, and styling across themes.

Changes:

• Added a dedicated “Static DHCP” table UI with per-row confirm/cancel behavior and synchronized textarea + line numbers.
• Expanded client-side validators (IPv4/IPv6 helpers, bracketed IPv6, stricter hostname checks) and applied them to table editing.
• Updated core/theme CSS to support the new layout, hint messaging, and validation highlighting.

I think the new parse function will solve some issues, like when "infinite" was considered as hostname (Example: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, 192.168.0.2, infinite). Now "infinite" is always considered as a lease time string (like on dnsmasq code).

Also, now the position of the items are not really important. The function will parse them and, if valid, will show them on the table, in the correct columns.
