feat: add flags to disable WebDAV and Admin UI in weed mini (#7971)

* feat: add flags to disable WebDAV and Admin UI in weed mini

- Add -webdav flag (default: true) to optionally disable WebDAV server
- Add -admin.ui flag (default: true) to optionally disable Admin UI only (server still runs)
- Conditionally skip WebDAV service startup based on flag
- Pass disableUI flag to SetupRoutes to skip UI route registration
- Admin server still runs for gRPC and API access when UI is disabled

Addresses issue from https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/pull/7833#issuecomment-3711924150

* refactor: use positive enableUI parameter instead of disableUI across admin server and handlers

* docs: update mini welcome message to list enabled components

* chore: remove unused welcomeMessageTemplate constant

* docs: split S3 credential message into separate sb.WriteString calls
