IDLE conflated two unrelated things: "controller disabled" and "needs
to cool, which this heat-only actuator fakes via zero output." Split
them apart:
- IDLE now means disabled only - the FSM forces it whenever
enabled=False, regardless of the temperature gap, and process_pid()
zeroes y for it same as before.
- New COOL state (mirroring HEAT) takes over the negative-diff case,
with its own pid_cool (separate "Cool" gains, alongside Hold/Heat)
instead of reusing pid_rate. Its output can legitimately be negative
- it's the actuator (tasks/heater.py's actor(), already max(0, ...))
that clamps it to 0 because *this* plant (Pot) can only heat. A
plant with real cooling capability could one day honor it directly.
- Thresholds renamed accordingly (HoldIdle->HoldCool, HeatIdle->
HeatCool, new CoolHold/CoolHeat); config.json/.sim/.templ and the
hand-rolled ctrl_params in scripts/demos/pid/ and demo_sud.py
updated with a "Cool" params section (mirrors "Heat" for now, since
there's no real cooling actuator to tune against yet).
Also fixes a regression in demo_sud.py/the other PID demos: none of
them ever called set_enabled(True), so since enabled defaults to
False they never drove the heater at all - only caught because this
change's demo_sud.py re-run got stuck in RAMPING forever.
brewpi.py passed a literal 20 as theta_amb to Pot, and
temp_controller_smith.py's two internal Pot models (and every demo's
Pot/TempController instantiation) silently relied on Pot's default of
20 instead. Add a top-level ambient_temperature key to
config.json(.templ/.sim), thread it through brewpi.py into both the
real plant and the Smith predictor's models via a new theta_amb param
on TempController, and make the demos pass it explicitly too.

temp_controller_smith.py still relied on Kalman filtering and Pot's old
get_temperature_intermediate(), both removed by the recent Pot/Kalman
simplification. Rebuild it using two Pot model copies (zero-delay and
delayed) and the same backward-difference heat rate as temp_controller.py,
combined into the classic Smith correction:
theta_ist = theta_model_fast + (theta_plant - theta_model_delay).
Also fix set_model_power() never being called, so the internal model
actually receives the controller's power output, and fill in
demo_temp_controller_smith.py to exercise it end-to-end with an extra
plot of plant vs. fast-model vs. delayed-model temperature.

temp_controller.py, temp_controller_smith.py, and kalman.py imported
matplotlib at module level just to support eyeballed-plot __main__
blocks, coupling the live server's import graph to a GUI plotting lib
it never uses at runtime. Relocate those demos (and kalman_eval.py) to
scripts/demos/pid/ and strip the now-unused imports/__main__ blocks
from the production files.
