Riccardo Manfrin dc89b471fa [client] checks/enforce MDM disableAutostart on every GUI launch, not just fresh installs (#6782)
## Describe your changes

`applyAutostartDefault` gated all MDM enforcement behind the one-time
`AutostartInitialized` marker, so MDM `disableAutostart` only affected
fresh installs — a policy pushed after autostart had been enabled could
not
revoke the OS login-item. 

The PR adds follow-up MDM enforcements at the top of
the function: if at any time MDM sets `disableAutostart=true` and the OS
registration is
present, force `SetEnabled(false)` to align it.

Trade-off: once the admin lifts the policy, autostart stays off until
the user re-toggles
in Settings — consistent with "MDM always wins" behavior of the other
managed keys.

## Issue ticket number and link

Follow-up to PR https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/6738
(introduced
the `disableAutostart` MDM key with fresh-install-only semantics).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added an administrative policy to disable client autostart (“Disable
Autostart”).
- Added support for configuring this policy via macOS MDM, Windows Group
Policy (ADMX/ADML), and registry settings.
- When enforced, the client prevents new autostart registration on fresh
installs and removes existing autostart on the next GUI launch, keeping
it disabled until the policy is lifted.

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved enforcement logic for managed autostart defaults so policy
state is applied consistently during startup and first-run setup.

<!--
NetBird MDM preferences (macOS) — bare plist for MDM platforms that
accept a managed-preferences plist tied to a bundle identifier
(e.g. JumpCloud "Mac Application Custom Settings", Mosyle "Custom
Settings", Jamf "Application & Custom Settings" → External
Application).
Bundle identifier (preference domain): io.netbird.client
The MDM provider will wrap this plist into a Configuration Profile
payload of type com.apple.ManagedClient.preferences and push it to
target devices via the Apple MDM protocol. The OS materializes the
final file at:
/Library/Managed Preferences/io.netbird.client.plist
which is what the NetBird daemon's client/mdm/policy_darwin.go
loader reads on every 1-minute MDM reload tick.
For MDM platforms that expect a full Configuration Profile instead
of a bare plist (Custom Configuration Profile / .mobileconfig upload),
use docs/netbird-macos.mobileconfig — same keys, additional Payload*
envelope.
Editing this file:
- Remove or comment out any key you do NOT want to enforce. The
daemon treats an absent key as "no enforcement" for that field.
- Keep the document well-formed XML. Validate locally with:
plutil -lint docs/io.netbird.client.plist
- Keys are camelCase; values are typed (<string>, <true/>, <false/>,
<integer>). See docs/src/pages/client/mdm-integration.mdx (the
public docs page) for the full reference.
Persistence caveat:
macOS wipes /Library/Managed Preferences/ at every boot on
devices that are NOT MDM-enrolled. This plist only sticks across
reboots when delivered through a real MDM channel. For local
testing on an un-enrolled host, write the file manually as root
and accept it will not survive the next boot.
