Zoltan Papp 18348e1491 client+ui: remove SSO handoff flicker and clean up abandoned login via context
Two follow-ups to the "hold NeedsLogin during the SSO browser wait" change.
Both target the visible state churn the tray showed during the auto-login
handoff (Connect / profile-switch lands on NeedsLogin -> the UI's startLogin
kicks off the SSO flow) and the broken recovery after the user dismisses the
browser-login popup with the window's X.

Background
----------
When a connect attempt lands on NeedsLogin, the UI's startLogin() drives the
SSO flow: Connection.Login() -> (NeedsSSOLogin) open the browser-login popup
-> Connection.WaitSSOLogin() blocks until the browser leg completes. The tray
and the React status page both paint the raw daemon status, so any transient
state the daemon publishes during this handoff is visible as a flicker.

Previously the handoff churned the daemon status through
  NeedsLogin -> Idle -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin
which read as a flicker on the tray icon and the status dot. Two distinct
sources produced the two intermediate states:

  * Idle       came from the UI's defensive cli.Down() at the top of
                Connection.Login (services/connection.go): it tore the engine
                down before every login to dislodge a possibly-parked
                WaitSSOLogin, emitting a StatusIdle on the way.
  * Connecting  came from server.go Login() unconditionally setting
                StatusConnecting before deciding whether the request is an
                SSO flow (which immediately returns NeedsLogin) or a
                setup-key flow (which actually dials Management).

Changes
-------
1. server.go Login(): only set StatusConnecting on the setup-key path, where
   we are about to dial Management with the key and the Connecting paint is
   meaningful. The SSO path returns NeedsLogin and parks on the browser leg,
   so it no longer flashes Connecting first. Removes the Connecting blip.

2. services/connection.go Login(): drop the pre-Login cli.Down(). The daemon
   already dislodges a pending WaitSSOLogin at Login entry (actCancel), and an
   abandoned browser leg is now torn down by cancelling the WaitSSOLogin RPC
   (see 3/4). Removing the Down removes the Idle blip on every login.

3. MainConnectionStatusSwitch.tsx startLogin(): on cancel (the browser-login
   popup's Cancel button or its window X, both routed through
   EventBrowserLoginCancel), cancel the in-flight WaitSSOLogin gRPC call via
   waitPromise.cancel() instead of issuing a heavy Connection.Down(). The
   daemon ties the wait to this call's context, so cancelling the call ends
   the wait cleanly with no engine teardown and no Idle paint.

4. server.go WaitSSOLogin(): when the wait unblocks with context.Canceled and
   the cancellation came from our caller (callerCtx.Err() != nil — the client
   cancelled the RPC or went away), clear the cached oauthAuthFlow so a fresh
   Login starts a new device code instead of reusing the abandoned one. The
   entry NeedsLogin stays in place, so a reattaching client still shows the
   login affordance. An internal abort (actCancel fired by a newer
   Login/WaitSSOLogin while our callerCtx is still live) is left untouched so
   the new owner's flow is not clobbered.

Effect
------
The auto-login handoff now goes Connected -> Connecting -> NeedsLogin and
holds, with no Idle/Connecting flicker in between. Dismissing the browser-login
popup with X now recovers the same way as the Cancel button: the WaitSSOLogin
RPC is cancelled, the stale OAuth flow is cleared, and the next connect opens a
fresh browser-login window instead of getting stuck.
