AssetManager 0.5.5.50

Safer MeshCentral identity matching for containers and virtual machines

• Keeps MeshCentral node ID as the primary device identity.
• Adds optional exact MAC-address matching between node ID and serial-number matching.
• Detects serial-number identities that occur more than once in the current MeshCentral inventory and excludes them from serial-number matching.
• Prevents a serial-number match when both the incoming device and the existing asset have valid but different MAC addresses.
• This avoids false matches for LXC/VM guests that inherit the same host DMI/mainboard serial number.
• Existing configured dummy-serial rules remain unchanged.
• Dry-run and real synchronization use the same matching logic.
