## Description
Adds the account-level `unread_count_for_filters` feature flag as the
dark-launch gate for filtered sidebar unread counts. This reuses the
deprecated `quoted_email_reply` flag slot, resets the reused bit for
existing accounts, and removes stale defaults so new accounts do not
reference the old flag.
This also adds the feature where we are now calculating the unread counts for built in filters like mentions, participating and unattended along with unread count for saved filters/folders.

## Type of change
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality not to work as expected)
- [ ] This change requires a documentation update
This reverts #14610 so conversation unread counts are again controlled
by the `conversation_unread_counts` feature flag across the API,
ActionCable broadcasts, notifier/listener paths, and dashboard sidebar
fetching.
## Closes
- None
## What changed
- Restores feature-flag checks for conversation unread count reads and
broadcasts.
- Restores the dashboard feature flag constant and sidebar/store
behavior for disabled unread counts.
- Restores the specs that cover disabled-feature behavior.
## How to test
- In an account with `conversation_unread_counts` enabled, verify
sidebar unread counts are fetched and updated in real time.
- Disable `conversation_unread_counts` for the account and verify unread
count requests/broadcasts are skipped.
## Description
Make conversation unread counts always available at runtime by removing
account feature checks from the API endpoint, unread-count listener,
notifier, and ActionCable broadcast path.
Update the dashboard to fetch sidebar unread counts for the active
account without checking FEATURE_FLAGS.CONVERSATION_UNREAD_COUNTS, and
remove the now-unused store clear action that only supported the
disabled state.
Keep the feature entry in config/features.yml to preserve flag bit
order, but mark it enabled and deprecated so fresh installs default to
the always-on behavior while feature-management UI hides it.
Leave existing installation default rows untouched; no migration is
included, so upgraded installs may still store the old flag value but
runtime behavior no longer depends on it.
Update specs around the new always-on contract and remove obsolete
disabled-feature assertions.
