fix(web): remove the General-tab plugin system toggles that did nothing

plugin_system.auto_discover, auto_load_enabled and development_mode had
General-tab toggles whose help tips promised dormant plugins and verbose
logging, but nothing reads them: every enabled plugin is discovered and
loaded regardless. Remove the three toggles.

The keys stay tolerated in stored configs. The save handler now stores
a flag only when a client sends it; treating a missing key as an
unchecked box would otherwise rewrite all three to false on every
General-tab save, which still posts plugins_directory.
