GUI: use a spinbox for ambient temperature instead of a text entry

Replaces lineEdit_ambient (QLineEdit) with doubleSpinBox_ambient
(QDoubleSpinBox, 0-50 degC, 0.5 deg steps) in brewpi.ui, regenerated
main_window.py via pyuic5 (same generator version, verified minimal diff).

brewpi_gui.py wires valueChanged instead of returnPressed - no more
manual float()/ValueError parsing of typed text, the signal already
hands over a valid float - with blockSignals guards around server-driven
updates (mirroring the existing doubleSpinBox_heatrate_soll pattern) so
applying a server echo doesn't immediately re-send the same value back.
