Reece Browne 16f589448d Remove the policies management surface from the editor sidebar (#6932)
## What

Removes the policy **management** surface from the editor's right rail —
the Policies list above Tools, the open-policy detail takeover, and the
collapsed-rail policy icons — along with the whole UI tree only they
used: the setup wizard and its tool-config steps (PII / redact /
watermark), the detail panel, delete modal, selection store,
enforcement-queue status chip, activity/stats derivation, the catalog
hook, their i18n keys, dead types, and the admin-gate spec that tested
the wizard flow.

**Enforcement is untouched.** Auto-run on upload, the viewer blocking
overlay, exit-point blocking, file badges, and export-time enforcement
all stay. `usePoliciesEnabled` moves to its own module (core stub /
proprietary / desktop shadow with the SaaS-connection check) since it
still gates mounting the headless `PolicyAutoRunController` from the
rail.

## Why

Policies are configured in the admin portal now
(`src/portal/views/Policies.tsx`). Keeping a second management UI in the
editor rail meant two surfaces to maintain for one feature; the editor
only needs to *enforce*.

## Notes for review

- The rail UI lived in the shared `core` `RightSidebar`, so this removes
it from every build flavour at once; the deleted `PoliciesSidebar`
module existed at the core (stub) / proprietary / desktop alias layers
and all three are gone.
- Every deleted module was verified to have zero remaining importers;
near-misses that stay: `enforcementQueue` (used by export enforcement),
`poll` (test-imported), `usePolicies` (used by auto-run).
- Net −3,900 lines.

## Testing

- `task frontend:check` green: typecheck, ESLint + dpdm, Prettier, all
1,196 tests.
- All build-variant typechecks pass (core / proprietary / saas /
desktop).
