* feat(clients): let admins set PersistentKeepalive on tunnel clients

model.Client already carries KeepAlive, and every AmneziaWG/WireGuard client
config emitter already writes PersistentKeepalive when it is above zero -- but
nothing in the UI could set it, so it stayed 0 and the line was never emitted.

Without it a peer that goes quiet has nothing to trigger a handshake: WireGuard
only initiates when it has data to send. An idle client stays disconnected
after any interruption -- a NAT mapping timing out, a device sleeping, the
panel restarting -- until the user generates traffic themselves.

New clients default to 25, the conventional value, which also keeps the NAT
mapping open. Existing clients keep whatever they have, and 0 remains valid and
means "do not send keepalives".

* fix(clients): let an explicit 0 actually disable PersistentKeepalive

Addresses review feedback on the previous commit.

UpdateInboundClient carries a stored keepalive forward whenever the incoming
one is zero, so the settings JSON and the running peer survive a metadata-only
edit that omits the field. That was a 0 -> 0 no-op while no UI could set a
nonzero value. Now that the client form can, the carry-forward became reachable
in the other direction: a client created at the form's default of 25 could
never be returned to 0, and the hint text shipped to all 13 locales -- "0
disables it" -- described something the backend silently refused. The save even
reported success, because a settings blob that came back byte-identical skips
the transaction entirely.

The zero value cannot carry that distinction, so model.Client.KeepAlive becomes
*int: nil means the field was never sent, &0 means "send no keepalives". The
pointer survives the internal marshal in ClientService.Update, which is where an
explicit 0 was being erased by omitempty before UpdateInboundClient ever saw it.
ClientRecord.KeepAlive stays a plain int -- it is the stored column, where
"unset" has no meaning -- and the conversions bridge the two.

Two tests, both red before this change in the direction they cover: an explicit
0 must reach wg_keep_alive, and an update that omits the field must still leave
a stored 25 alone.

Also adds the output transform every other numeric field in the client form
already has, so a cleared box sends 0 rather than null.

* fix(clients): repair the keepalive pointer conversion after the main merge

Merging main brought buildAmneziaWGProxy (#6326) in beside the
Client.KeepAlive int -> *int change without reconciling the new call site,
so internal/sub stopped compiling and took every package importing it with
it. The two sides touched different lines, so git merged them without a
conflict -- the green `make verify` on 112b19a8 predates the break.

ToClient also wrapped a stored 0 in a pointer, so omitempty stopped
omitting: a VLESS client's settings JSON gained "keepAlive": 0 on the
attach and bulk-attach paths, and that JSON reaches xray-core verbatim
through GenXrayInboundConfig. wg_keep_alive cannot tell "off" from "never
set", so a stored 0 now stays nil.

Also copies the regenerated openapi.json over the docs mirror, which
nothing in CI checks, and trims two comment blocks to the two-line cap.
