feat(intake): record whether the submitter asked for a cut-out (#281)

The public intake POST now reads a `removeBackground` multipart field and stores it on the new `item_drafts.remove_background` column. The checkbox on the submission page is ticked by default, so a client that sends nothing gets `true` — only the exact string `'false'` opts out, so a stray or unexpected value is treated as consent rather than a silent refusal.

The GET now also reports `backgroundRemoval: isRembgConfigured()` alongside the label, so the submission page knows up front whether the feature exists in this environment at all. Neither handler calls the sidecar or the AI — this task only records intent for the drafting worker to act on later, and the existing ordering of `requireUsableLink` and `requireCapacity` ahead of `uploadImages` is unchanged.
