Raise an alarm on a component

POST
/components/{name}/alarms
curl --request POST \
--url https://example.com/api/v1/components/example/alarms \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "capabilities": [ "example" ], "message": "example", "severity": "info" }'

Records a condition on this component and the capabilities it degrades, then recomputes health in the same transaction: any role requiring a degraded capability can no longer be filled by this component, and its system and location verdicts move with it. An unknown capability is a 422. Gated by component:update; an out-of-scope component is a non-disclosing 404.
