Test alert uses real data: actual cheapest station within radius

The first Settings test button no longer sends a hardcoded placeholder —
it runs the same criteria as a live alert (monitored fuel, alert radius,
current location) against the loaded stations and sends the REAL station
name, brand and price. Result line shown under the button; graceful
message when no stations or no sellers within radius.
