fix(setup): hide YouTube/Google affordances when Google sign-in isn't configured

- /api/me exposes instance-wide google_enabled. The onboarding nudge no longer auto-opens, and
  Settings hides the YouTube-access section + the 'Connect Google' option, when the instance has
  no Google OAuth configured (e.g. an email+password-only self-host). A linked account still shows
  its 'Connected' status.
