Harden the no-auth reverse-proxy mode
Rename the flag to --unsafe-disable-auth so the risk is visible at the call
site, and close the ways the mode could outlive itself:

- Keep an explicit -P/--startup-psw instead of dropping it. Without a password
  in the database, --no-unsafe-disable-auth brought firegex up in its
  initial-setup state, where anyone able to reach it could choose the password.
- Refuse /api/login, /api/set-password and /api/change-password while
  authentication is disabled: an anonymous caller could otherwise plant a
  credential that kept working once authentication was turned back on.
  run.py config --password still works, writing to the database from the host.
- Print a banner on every start/restart with authentication disabled. The flag
  is persisted in the config file, so a later bare `run.py start` inherits it.
- Report the change in `run.py config --unsafe-disable-auth`, which claimed
  "No configuration changes specified" while persisting it, and stop that
  command from nulling the stored port and host on the way.
- Expose the state as auth_disabled in /api/status and hide the logout button
  and the change-password entry, which were silent no-ops in this mode.

Tests cover both directions of the toggle, the socket.io handler, the password
endpoints and the -P handling.
