refactor(settings): drop the legacy per-driver providers map

[juliusmarminge]

ServerSettings.providers (one blob per built-in driver) listed every provider's settings schema in contracts, which kept providers from moving into their own packages. providerInstances is now the only provider configuration.

• An unconfigured built-in default slot runs with the driver's default config. Codex and Claude start enabled; the rest start off. The ACP Registry opts out of a default instance through driver metadata.
• Migration: on load, a settings file that still has the old map moves each customized entry into its driver's default slot (an explicit instance wins), applies provider history to the cursor/grok/opencode opt-ins as before, and is rewritten once without the old key. An unreadable file is never rewritten. This matters for real installs: some still point Codex/Claude at custom binaries only through the old map.
• Web settings, onboarding, and model selection read instances only. Resetting a default instance just removes it.

Tests cover the migration (customized entries, explicit-instance precedence, history opt-ins, explicit disables, untouched invalid files) and the new defaults.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a broad settings migration that changes provider default enablement, implicit instance hydration, fallback selection, UI behavior, and persisted configuration. Because product defaults and the settings contract change across server and web code, the migration warrants human review.

No code changes detected at cf03583. Prior analysis still applies.
