TARIFF-24: battery modes start the tariff task (hotfix 0.19.1)

With battery modes on, a day/night or fixed static_profile, no price feed and
arbitrage off, tariff_refresh_wanted() was false: no tariff task, no
tariff_plan, mode_runs None, so Leftover solar / Cheap hours never charged from
the grid and the Batteries screen said "No prices". packmode.enabled(opts) is
now a third term of the gate. With price_provider off the task is pure
arithmetic on static_profile, so no HTTPS call is added.

Also: version 0.19.1, CHANGELOG entry, DECISIONS note, test_tariff24.py, and a
shorter tariff_refresh_wanted() docstring (history stays in DECISIONS).

# TARIFF-24 - battery modes need the tariff task
**Status: FIXED in 0.19.1 (hotfix from 0.19.0, owner go 2026-10-28).**
Follows TARIFF-10 (fetching is not trading). Tests: `test_tariff24.py`.
**The defect.** The control cycle gets prices only from
`Controller.tariff_plan`, which only `run_tariff_refresh()` stores. `amain()`
starts that task when `tariff_refresh_wanted(opts)`, which was
`provider_configured(opts) or arbitrage.enabled(opts)`. Battery modes read the
plan but were not a term. With battery modes on, a day/night or fixed
`static_profile`, `price_provider: off` and `arbitrage_enabled: false` (the
site trade switch is not read with modes on) no task ran. Then
`fresh_tariff_plan()` was None, `_price_runs()` was None and `mode_runs` was
None, so Leftover solar and Cheap hours never charged from the grid. The
Batteries screen said "No prices, so it follows the house" while Home priced
the day from `static_plan()` itself (`homeview.build_plan()`).
**The fix** (`main.py`, `tariff_refresh_wanted()`). `packmode.enabled(opts)`
is a third term. The gate stays a widening: nothing that started the task
before stops. No HTTPS call is added: with `price_provider: off`,
`resolve_tariff()` is the pure `static_plan()`.
**Not changed.** Modes off, arbitrage off, no feed still starts no task. The
control law, the price runs and every message are untouched.
**One rule, not two.** Gating on "modes on and a static profile" was
considered. It saves one arithmetic pass every 30 min on a site with modes on
and no prices at all, and it adds a second condition that has to track what
`resolve_tariff()` accepts. With no profile and no feed the plan is `no_data`,
exactly what the cycle sees without the task.
**UX-55.** Home said "no prices have arrived" (`mode_runs` None) with every
battery on Solar first. The same cause, and this fix clears it for a site with
a static profile (`test_tariff24.py` part 5). A site with no profile and no
feed still has no prices, and Home still says so.
