Make a retired asset findable and restorable from the product

The retire dialog says "History and relationships are kept, and it can be
restored." The API always kept that promise - ?active=false lists retired rows,
PUT {"isactive": true} restores one - and no screen in the product could reach
either. A retired asset simply vanished: the lists filtered it out, global
search missed it, and its detail page still rendered Edit and Retire with
nothing anywhere saying it was retired.

Five list pages gained a "Show retired" toggle that passes active=false, and a
retired row now carries a badge. Five detail pages gained a banner saying the
record is retired and what that means, a Restore button, and the suppression of
Edit and Retire while it is retired - offering Retire on an already-retired
record was the part that made the state invisible.

Verified end to end in a browser: retire a machine, the detail page says so and
offers Restore, the list hides it until the toggle is ticked and badges it when
shown, and Restore puts it back (isactive true again on the API).

One thing this does NOT do: global search still does not reach a retired asset.
That is a separate surface with its own filter, and worth deciding on
deliberately rather than sliding in here - a search that returns retired
records by default would change every result page.
