fix(uptime-kuma): fail when a list event is missing after login

Kuma 2.5.6 afterLogin (server/server.js:1839-1848) sends the
notification and API-key lists inside Promise.allSettled and acks the
login regardless. A missing notificationList was read as empty and
would create a second default "email" notification (double mails);
a missing apiKeyList would add a key without removing the old one.
The script now fails the run instead.

Verified against a local 2.5.6: fresh run creates everything, second
run reports no changes.
