Add A Static/manually set Monitor

🏷️ Feature Request Type
New Monitor
🔖 Feature description
There is not option to add a static monitor that can be set up or down manually.
Sometimes you can't monitor several services by the currently available monitors in Uptime Kuma, but for having my users also notified that a service is down, I want to create a monitor which can be turned "offline" manually
✔️ Solution
Requesting the ability to add a static monitor that is set either up or down manually.
This is useful to add items like infrastructure items (Cooling/Power) that can be set either up or down depending on what is inputted. This would be great to add to the new public status page.

So a way to handle this is just adding a keyword monitor in Kuma monitoring a static HTTP page. Like HTTP://myserver.com/hvac.html then just put a word on this page.
You'd be updating the HTML page manually instead of handling it in Kuma.

This is an option that I currently have set up now. Its not a great quality of life, but its something. Would love to see this feature implemented in Kuma.
Yes, would love a "pull" feature where services can be customized to send to a custom webhook in UT-K that's automatically created per monitor.
This is the only reason I don't use uptime kuma at the moment. I am in need of static monitors that are manually controlled.

A potential implementation suggestion would be to allow monitors to add buttons to the page when you're viewing a monitor and its details. Then, a manual monitor can be added that adds buttons for up and down and also any other monitors that may have other custom things they may want to do. I know this adds a good amount of scope creep, but it would be a new feature that could be helpful in the future for other requests.
