feat: separate Task Sync and Roomote Control settings

- Add new taskSyncEnabled setting to control task content syncing
- Keep remoteControlEnabled for Roomote Control functionality
- Task Sync controls whether task content is sent to cloud
- Roomote Control controls whether cloud can send instructions back
- Roomote Control now depends on Task Sync being enabled
- Usage metrics (tokens, cost) always reported regardless of settings
- Update UI with two separate toggles and clear descriptions
- Add info text explaining usage metrics are always reported
