Make alertscope actually target fleet alerts

alertscope was stored, serialised and editable in the authoring form but
never read when alerts were handed to an endpoint, so every fleet alert
went to every machine regardless of what was entered. The control implied
a capability nothing enforced.

get_fleet_alerts now resolves the polling endpoint's facts and filters
each alert through its scope. Supported keys: hostname, assettype,
computertype, location, businessunit. A key may hold one value or a list
(any match), matching is case-insensitive since these are operator-typed
names, and multiple keys narrow together.

Unrecognised keys are ignored rather than treated as match-nothing. A
typo like {"hostnam": "BAY-01"} would otherwise mute the alert fleet-wide
and look identical to a delivery failure; sending wider than intended is
the safe direction for something whose job is to warn people. A garbled
non-dict scope falls back to the whole fleet for the same reason. The
real fix for typos belongs at authoring time, not delivery.

BusinessUnit is not exported from shopdb.api, so its name is resolved by
table rather than importing the model and breaking the plugin import
contract.

Ten tests cover the narrowing cases and the fail-open behaviour.
