Add RMS/CLITools.py with addConfigArgument() and loadConfig() helpers that standardize the -c/--config argument without the legacy nargs=1 pattern, and normalize str/list inputs before calling loadConfigFromDirectory. Convert the five scripts that still parsed sys.argv by hand to argparse so they all support -h/--help: PointsViewer, Grouping3DRunner, setAllCameraParams, SetCameraAddress, and SaturationSimulation (which previously had no CLI at all - its hardcoded demo parameters are now arguments with the old values as defaults). Also fixes a NameError crash in PointsViewer (plt.title referenced an undefined variable) and removes its hardcoded .config path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
New RMS/__main__.py: running "python -m RMS" lists the most commonly
used tools grouped by topic, and "python -m RMS <command> [args...]"
dispatches to the corresponding module via runpy. Every command remains
runnable directly as a module, so existing invocations are unaffected.
New Utils/StationStatus.py ("python -m RMS status"): a station health
report that works over SSH with no display. Shows how the last night
went (FF files captured vs expected, lost capture time, first/last
detection, days since last detection, tracebacks in the log, time sync,
repository lag, camera pointing) from the observation summary database,
plus the current state (disk space, camera reachability, next capture
start). A --json flag outputs the report for use in scripts, and the
command degrades gracefully on fresh installs with no data yet.
Adds a getLatestObservationRecord() read helper to ObservationSummary
and documents the launcher in the README.

Route the config-loading banner prints to stderr when --json is used, so stdout contains only the JSON document. Pass a naive UTC time (RmsDateTime.utcnow) to getObservationDuration - the capture duration code subtracts ephem's naive datetimes, so a timezone-aware value raised TypeError during an active night and the report showed "Next capture: n/a".

Summary
Stacked on #922 (includes its commit; this PR's own diff is the second commit). Merge #922 first and this diff will shrink to just the launcher/status changes.
