feat: runtime self-registration toggle in admin dashboard

Self-registration is now controlled at runtime from the admin panel rather
than at build time via an env var. Default: off.

- New `settings` table (key/value/updated_at) plus getSetting/setSetting
  helpers. Idempotent first-boot migration seeds allow_self_registration
  from the ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION env var; after first boot the env var
  is ignored and admins control the toggle from the UI.
- New public GET /api/auth/config (no auth) — returns
  { allowSelfRegistration, hasUsers }. The Login page polls this on mount
  to decide whether to show a Register link, and to render
  "Create the first admin account" mode when the install is empty.
- New admin GET /api/admin/settings + PUT /api/admin/settings/:key for
  the dashboard. Constrained to a known-keys allowlist with type coercion
  so unrecognized keys can't be stored.
- POST /api/auth/register now reads the toggle from the database instead
  of process.env. The first user is still always allowed and is auto-
  promoted to admin.
- Admin.tsx grows a "Settings" card with a labelled toggle switch and
  toast feedback. The card sits above the user table.
- VITE_ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION dropped — runtime fetch replaces it.

Docs: README + .env.example clarify that ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION is now
an initial seed only, the going-public checklist points at the dashboard
toggle, and the features list calls out runtime control.
