Fix Android crash: don't register push without Firebase

On Android, PushNotifications.register() calls FirebaseMessaging.getInstance(),
which throws "Default FirebaseApp is not initialized" when the build has no
google-services.json. Capacitor runs the plugin method on its own thread, so the
exception is an UNCAUGHT NATIVE crash a JS try/catch can't stop — the app died
right after sign-in and on every relaunch.

Gate Android push registration on a new server flag: /api/meetings/config now
returns fcm (push.fcmReady() = FCM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT present). setupNativePush skips
register() on Android unless fcm is true. Web-side fix — deploys without a rebuild;
push auto-enables once Firebase (client google-services.json + server FCM) is set up.
iOS/APNs unchanged.
