Hotfix: Disable PostHog automatic data collection

[subodhr258]

Issue - https://github.com/rtCamp/godam-core/issues/936

This pull request updates how PostHog tracking is enabled in the application, ensuring that user consent is always respected and tracking is only enabled when the user has explicitly opted in. The changes prevent automatic enabling of tracking in scenarios where the user has not made a clear choice.

Consent and tracking logic improvements:

• In admin/godam-transcoder-functions.php, PostHog tracking is now auto-enabled only if the user has never made a consent choice (posthog_initialized is empty), and will not be re-enabled automatically if the user previously opted out—even when activating an API key. This ensures user consent is respected.
• In pages/utils/posthog.js, PostHog tracking is now enabled only when the configuration explicitly indicates an opt-in (enabled === '1' or enabled === 1), preventing tracking from being enabled by default.

Pull request overview

Updates PostHog initialization and consent handling to prevent tracking from being enabled by default, and to avoid re-enabling tracking after a prior opt-out during API key activation/verification.

Changes:

• Tightens PostHog enablement in JS to require an explicit enabled opt-in value (1 / '1').
• Adjusts API key verification flow to only auto-enable PostHog when no prior consent state has been recorded (posthog_initialized empty).
