node-26#9. decoder_control.py's AIS mode now actually launches AIS-catcher
instead of 400ing: a background thread reads its stdout JSON stream
(one message per line) and keeps a live in-memory snapshot keyed by mmsi,
since AIS-catcher streams rather than writing a periodic file the way
dump1090's --write-json does. Messages are merged onto the existing entry
per mmsi rather than replacing it, since AIS-catcher emits static data
(name) and position reports (lat/lon) as separate message types — a naive
overwrite would blank the name back to null on every position-only update
(caught by a standalone unit check against a fake stdout stream before
this fix, not by pytest — this container has no test suite yet).

edge-node's telemetry_uplink_loop now posts non-empty vessel snapshots to
the new /telemetry/ais the same way it already does for aircraft.

UNVERIFIED against real hardware/binary in this session, same caveat as
the ADS-B commit — AIS-catcher's JSON field names are believed correct
from its docs, not confirmed against a real capture.
