Add explicit "no protection device" state for circuits

Circuits can now record that they deliberately have no protection device
(type NONE, shown as "–"), separate from circuits whose protection is
still open. Migration 0017 makes rated_current_a nullable.

 - Equipment identifiers belong to circuits, not to every device row.
 - Device rows inside a circuit do not have their own equipment identifiers.
 - Protection and cable data belong to the circuit, not to individual devices.
+- A circuit protection record of type `NONE` means "deliberately no protection
+  device" (shown as "–"); a circuit without any protection record is still
+  open. `NONE` is circuit-only, never a component protection.
 - Device-level values include quantity, power per unit, simultaneity factor, cosPhi, room data, cost group and category.
 - Circuit total power is the sum of all device rows in that circuit plus the
   read-only loads of logically linked downstream boards on that feeder circuit.
