fix(ghostgram): fix Always Online + implement Ghost Mode mutual exclusion

Bugs fixed:
- Always Online had no effect after toggle — updatePresence was only called
  on app focus changes, not on settings changes. Fixed by subscribing to
  MiscSettingsManager notifications in AccountPresenceManagerImpl.

- Ghost Mode + Always Online conflict: if Ghost Mode was enabled, the early
  return in updatePresence completely blocked Always Online logic.

Changes:
- ManagedAccountPresence: priority chain Always Online > Ghost Mode > default.
  Subscribes to GhostMode/MiscSettings notifications, refreshes presence
  immediately on any change. 30s keep-alive timer for Always Online.
- GhostModeManager: enabling Ghost Mode auto-disables alwaysOnline via
  disableAlwaysOnlineForMutualExclusion(). No recursion via guard flag.
- MiscSettingsManager: enabling alwaysOnline auto-disables Ghost Mode via
  disableForMutualExclusion(). No recursion via guard flag.
- MiscController: subscribes to GhostModeManager notifications to refresh
  UI when Ghost Mode is auto-disabled by Always Online.
- GhostModeController: subscribes to MiscSettings notifications to refresh
  UI when Ghost Mode is auto-disabled by Always Online.
