fix(hosts): assign group ids to imported hosts and repair empty ones

Host rows created from a legacy streamSettings.externalProxy during
inbound import got an empty group_id, and the one-time HostGroupIds
seeder had already been gated off, so the UI rendered them under a
synthetic fallback_<id> group the update/delete API could not resolve,
failing every edit with "host group not found".

Assign a real group id in externalProxyEntryToHost at creation, and
replace the seeder with backfillEmptyHostGroupIds, an idempotent
startup repair that runs on every boot so rows from older builds and
restored backups are healed too. Also rename the leaked internal
error "host group not found" to "host not found" since groups are not
a user-facing concept.
