THRESH_HOLD_IDLE/HOLD_HEAT/IDLE_HEAT/IDLE_HOLD/HEAT_HOLD/HEAT_IDLE in
tc_constants.py were hardcoded module-level constants shared by every
controller instance, so tuning the IDLE/HOLD/HEAT hysteresis required
a code change.
Replace them with DEFAULT_THRESHOLDS plus an optional
TempCtrl.Thresholds config section, merged at construction time in
TempControllerBase.__init__ so configs that omit the section keep
behaving exactly as before. Documented the new section in
config.json.templ; left config.json.sim without it to exercise the
default-fallback path.

TempControllerBase no longer threads model_params through (only the
Smith subclass needs it, for its own Pot model and Kalman filters).
Enable the Smith predictor's actual delay-compensated error term
(theta_err now uses theta_ist_plant - theta_ist_model_delay +
theta_ist_model instead of the plain plant reading), which is the
correction this controller is named for.

Both controllers had nearly identical process_fsm(), process_pid(),
and all getters/setters; only Kalman/model setup and process()
genuinely differed, and the duplication had already drifted (the
Smith variant resets model state on entering HEAT, the plain one
didn't).
Add TempControllerBase with the shared logic and three small hooks
(init_kalman, on_state_entered, post_pid) subclasses use to plug in
their own Kalman/model behavior. Each subclass now contains only what
makes it different.
Also fixes a latent crash: TempController's constructor only accepted
(dt, params), but PidFactory/brewpi.py always call it with a third
model_params arg, so pid_type "Normal" would have raised TypeError.
The shared base's model_params=None default fixes this. Also
initializes the Smith controller's trace attributes in __init__
instead of leaving them undefined until the first process() call.
