chore(api-keys): remove the api-key-read-only flag now that read-only keys are live

Every production pod runs v0.9.53, which enforces key access, and the flag is on in prod AppConfig. Read-only key creation is now always available: the create modal always offers Access (except where a key must be full access), and the create use case no longer consults the flag.

 A refused request fails with `403` and the message `This API key is read-only and cannot perform this operation`. Where the surface carries a code, it is `READ_ONLY_API_KEY`: in `error.details.code` on the v2 API and the Sim MCP server, in `details.code` on the v1 API and workflow execution, and in `error.data.code` on a workflow MCP server.
 
-Access narrows a key; it never grants more than the key's identity already has. Access is fixed at creation, so create a new key to change it. Keys created before access levels existed have full access. Keys created from the deploy modal or for a workflow MCP server always have full access, because they exist to run workflows. If **Access** isn't shown when you create a key, read-only keys aren't available on your deployment yet.
