refactor: comprehensive OutageDetection service improvements and logical fixes

Key improvements and fixes:
- Fix inconsistent state recovery timing by using endpoint LastChangeTs instead of "now"
- Remove redundant logic in MonitorState transition methods that was always true
- Implement defensive database-first approach for outage lookups vs memory state
- Fix EF Core transaction patterns by removing unnecessary SaveChangesAsync before CommitAsync
- Clean up MonitorState by removing unused validation methods and inlining simple operations
- Enforce strict 2-consecutive-failure requirement for all DOWN transitions
- Remove GetOrCreateMonitorState from interface as it was only used internally

These changes eliminate logical flaws, improve data consistency, and make the system
more robust against edge cases while maintaining backward compatibility.
