fix(reconciler): add sync, github, youtube to _SYSTEM_CONFIG_KEYS (#351)

config_manager.load_config() deep-merges config_secrets.json into the
main config before returning it. This means secrets top-level keys
(github, youtube) appear alongside structural config keys (sync) in the
dict that _get_config_state() iterates.

_SYSTEM_CONFIG_KEYS was missing all three, so the reconciler treated them
as plugin IDs and flagged them as PLUGIN_MISSING_ON_DISK on every startup,
showing the "Stale plugin config entries found" warning banner to users on
a fresh install where those plugins have never existed.

Add the three keys with brief comments explaining which file each comes
from so the distinction is clear when the list grows.
