fix(onboarding): make the guided tour first-time-only, drop every re-entry trigger

The guided tour now exists only as the first-time auto-start after onboarding.
Remove every in-app trigger that re-opened it: the per-module "show this tour"
button on the dashboard, measurements, mood, medications, labs, illness, cycle,
achievements, insights, and coach surfaces; and the Settings replay card.

Delete the now-orphaned ModuleTourTrigger component, the tour-restart worker,
the healthlog:module-tour and healthlog:tour-restart event listeners, the
single-stop overlay path, and the force-launch session marker. The first-time
auto-launch gate and the tour overlay itself are unchanged. Prune the orphaned
i18n keys across all locales and update the affected tests.
