fix(interfaces): decouple default_bootstrap_only from Reticulum config
Move default_bootstrap_only from Reticulum [reticulum] section to MeshChatX
config so it only applies to manually added TCP/Backbone interfaces,
not to discovered/auto-connected ones. Scrub stale value from
Reticulum config on startup to fix existing installs.
