fix(onboarding): stop the Withings connect dead-end and disclose BYO setup

The onboarding "Connect Withings" tap opened /api/withings/connect in a new
tab, which returned a raw JSON 400 for every brand-new account (Withings
credentials are per-user BYO with no env fallback, and the wizard never
collects them). WHOOP, Fitbit, Polar, Oura, and Strava shared the identical
raw-JSON-on-no-creds pattern on their own /connect routes, while every other
failure branch already redirected with a toast reason. All six now redirect
to /settings/integrations?<provider>=error&reason=nocreds instead, and the
wizard's Withings card checks the integrations-status envelope first: unless
credentials are already configured, the CTA reads "Set up in Settings" and
links straight to the credentials form rather than launching a doomed OAuth
handshake.

Also surfaces the BYO-developer-app requirement, which was invisible until a
user was deep inside a Settings card. The source-picker step now says
up front that device sources need a free developer app on the user's own
account; each of the six provider cards gets a compact 3-step guide with the
exact callback URL to register, shown until the user has saved their own
credentials.
