ipn/{ipnauth,ipnlocal,localapi}: make EditPrefs return an error if changing exit node is restricted by policy

We extract checkEditPrefsAccessLocked, adjustEditPrefsLocked, and onEditPrefsLocked from the EditPrefs
execution path, defining when each step is performed and what behavior is allowed at each stage.

Currently, this is primarily used to support Always On mode, to handle the Exit Node enablement toggle,
and to report prefs edit metrics.

We then use it to enforce Exit Node policy settings by preventing users from setting an exit node
and making EditPrefs return an error when an exit node is restricted by policy. This enforcement is also
extended to the Exit Node toggle.

These changes prepare for supporting Exit Node overrides when permitted by policy and preventing logout
while Always On mode is enabled.

In the future, implementation of these methods can be delegated to ipnext extensions via the feature hooks.
