feat: default HTTP API backend to on for dev/beta channels

Turn on the experimental effect-httpapi server backend by default for
dev, beta, and local installations so internal users exercise the new
backend. Stable (prod/latest) installs remain on the legacy hono backend.

OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTPAPI=true/1 still force-enables on stable, and
OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTPAPI=false/0 disables it as an escape hatch for
dev/beta users.
