Cobra 71cd3332d2 Fix ARRIVED spam — mark departing instead of popping from known_devices
When on_departure popped the device from known_devices, rapid RTM_NEWNEIGH
events during ARP cache rebuild each triggered on_arrival as if the device
was brand new, flooding the Matrix room with 5-10+ duplicate ARRIVED alerts.

Fix: keep device in known_devices with departing=True flag. on_arrival
silently cancels pending departure timers and returns without alerting when
it sees this flag. Timer callback checks flag before sending the alert and
only pops the device when departure is confirmed after 15 minutes.
