Customised Analytics for admins and users (#4687)

Adds granular privacy controls for analytics - splits single
enableAnalytics toggle into separate PostHog and Scarf controls with
improved admin
  UX.

  Backend Changes

  Configuration (ApplicationProperties.java)
  - Added enablePosthog and enableScarf boolean fields
- New methods: isPosthogEnabled(), isScarfEnabled() (null = enabled when
analytics is on)

  Services
- PostHogService: Now checks isPosthogEnabled() instead of
isAnalyticsEnabled()
  - ConfigController: Exposes new flags via API
- SettingsController: Changed endpoint from @RequestBody to
@RequestParam

  Frontend Changes

  Architecture
- Converted useAppConfig hook → AppConfigContext provider for global
access
  - Added refetch() method for config updates without reload

  New Features
1. AdminAnalyticsChoiceModal: First-launch modal when enableAnalytics
=== null
    - Enable/disable without editing YAML
    - Includes documentation link
  2. Scarf Tracking System: Modular utility with React hook wrapper
    - Respects config + per-service cookie consent
    - Works from any code location (React or vanilla JS)
3. Enhanced Cookie Consent: Per-service toggles (PostHog and Scarf
separate)

  Integration
  - App.tsx: Added AppConfigProvider + scarf initializer
  - HomePage.tsx: Shows admin modal when needed
  - index.tsx: PostHog opt-out by default, service-level consent

  Key Benefits

✅ Backward compatible (null defaults to enabled)
✅ Granular control per analytics service
✅ First-launch admin modal (no YAML editing)
✅ Privacy-focused with opt-out defaults
✅ API-based config updates
