feat: remove app name and logo customization feature

Users can no longer customize the app name or logo. The branding API
endpoints, permission, frontend UI, env vars (APP_NAME, MAX_LOGO_SIZE_KB),
and all related tests are removed. Includes a migration to clean up
branding data from existing databases.
