nodes: what porting the house needed from the vocabulary

Four small things, each with a device behind it.

An MQTT filter now routes what it subscribed to. `+` and `#` reached the
broker and were then looked up in an exact-match dict, so every message a
wildcard subscription received was dropped in silence.

`json_key` lifts a value out of the object a device wraps it in — Victron
publishes `{"value": 47}` on every path, which was otherwise a Python node
per port.

The trigger node learned `passthrough` and `wait_port`, because how long to
wait can be a value rather than a constant: a rollershutter takes 26 seconds
up and 28 down. A wait of zero sends nothing afterwards and still cancels
what the last message scheduled, which is how a stop is commanded once
instead of forever.

The HTTP sender takes fixed `query` parameters, so an API key is a secret
reference rather than a message on the canvas, and `send_inputs` off for a
request whose inputs are only a trigger.

Also: `delay` accepts fractional seconds, and `TZ` reaches the container, so
a cron expression means local time. Left unset it is UTC, as before.
