ombi: adopt the Plex entry that plex itself answers for

ace's ombi holds one Plex entry, loaded from an older server and later
retyped to plex's public name: its stored machineIdentifier is not plex's,
while its address answers as plex. Matching by identifier alone would leave
it and add a second entry for the same server.

When no entry carries the server's identifier, each entry's own address is
asked for /identity, and an entry plex answers for is adopted: the bound
connection laid over, and the identifier corrected (ombi builds its "view in
Plex" links from it). Its name, libraries and every other choice stay. An
entry that cannot be asked, or answers as another server, is left alone;
nothing is guessed. Every call of the step is now bounded, since an entry may
name a host that no longer answers.

+// Where ombi reaches Plex — decided by the mesh, written into ombi by ombi's own API.
+//
+// **Why this exists.** ombi keeps its Plex servers in its own database (OmbiSettings.db), so the
+// mesh has no file to write `${bound:plex-api:at}` into. ombi requires `plex-api`; the mesh delivers
+// a binding (where plex is: `at`, and what it serves: `port`, `scheme`) and a pair credential (the
+// server owner's X-Plex-Token, accepted by the operator — plex.tv issues it and the mesh cannot
+// mint it). This step makes ombi's Plex settings say the same thing, beside its Servarr ones.
+//
+// **Which entry is plex's.** ombi may list several Plex servers. The one this provision names is
+// found by the server's own machineIdentifier, which plex answers at /identity — the same value
+// ombi stored when an operator loaded the server in its settings screen. That entry's connection is
+// brought in line; an entry for any other server is never touched.
+//
+// When no entry carries that identifier, an entry may still be this server reached another way:
+// ace's ombi holds one loaded from an older server and later retyped to plex's public name, so its
+// stored identifier is stale while its address answers as this plex. Each entry's OWN address is
+// asked for /identity, and an entry plex itself answers for is this server's — adopted: its
+// connection laid over and its identifier corrected (ombi builds its "view in Plex" links from it).
+// Nothing is guessed: an entry whose address is unreachable, or answers as another server, is left
+// as it was. Only when no entry is this server's either way is one added, named as plex names
+// itself — it is the mesh's, so later runs keep it true.
+//
+// **Only the connection, and only when it differs.** Host, port, TLS, base path and token — and the
+// identifier of an adopted entry. Whether Plex is enabled in ombi, watchlist import, the selected
+// libraries, the batch size and everything else an operator chose are left exactly as they are.
+//
+// **A token plex refuses is never written.** Until the operator accepts the server's token for this
+// pair, the mesh delivers a value it minted itself, which plex answers with 401 (or 400 on its own
+// network). Writing it would replace a working token in ombi with a dead one, so the token is tried
+// against plex first; refused, nothing is written and the step fails naming the `secret accept`.
