znetsixe d6f8af4395 fix(editor): make Input Mode the top-level switch, hide wrong-mode fields ...

Prior behaviour: the Mode dropdown existed but nothing consumed it in the
editor — analog fields (Scaling, Source Min/Max, Smoothing, …) were
always visible, and the Channels JSON editor was always visible too.
For a legacy node with no saved mode the dropdown defaulted blank so
users reported "I cant even select digital or analog".

Changes:
- Initialize the Mode <select> from node.mode with an 'analog' fallback
  for legacy nodes (safe default — matches pre-digital behaviour).
- Wrap analog-only fields and digital-only fields in labelled containers
  and toggle their display based on the selected mode. Mode change is
  live — no redeploy needed to see the right form.
- Inline hint under the Mode dropdown tells the user what payload shape
  is expected for the current mode.
- Channels JSON gets live validation — shows channel count + names on
  valid JSON, warns on missing key/type, errors on invalid JSON.
- Label function appends ' [digital]' so the node visibly differs in a
  flow from an analog sibling.
- oneditsave is mode-aware: only warns about incomplete scaling ranges
  in analog mode; in digital mode warns if the channels array is empty
  or unparseable.

Runtime friendliness:
- nodeClass node-status now shows 'digital · N channel(s)' on startup in
  digital mode, and 'digital · N/M ch updated' after each incoming msg
  so the editor has a live heartbeat even when there is no single scalar.
- When analog mode receives an object payload (or digital receives a
  number), the node logs an actionable warn suggesting the mode switch
  instead of silently dropping the message.

Explicit, not auto-detected: mode remains a deployment-time choice
because the two modes take different editor config (scaling/smoothing vs
channels map). Auto-detecting at runtime would leave the node
unconfigured in whichever mode the user hadn't anticipated.
