fix: improvedr pair status sharing.

- pair_devices.html template for device pairing interface
- SLMM device control lock prevents flooding nl43.
Fix:
- Polling intervals for SLMM.
- modem view now list
- device pairing much improved.
- various other tweaks through out UI.
- SLMM Scheduled downloads fixed.
