Simplify EnableProfileBadges to plain bool

[esarafianou]

Summary

Removes the plugin-local Truthy custom type and switches EnableProfileBadges to a plain bool, matching how the Playbooks and Boards plugins declare their bool settings.

Truthy existed to tolerate Mattermost handing the default through as the JSON string "true" instead of a JSON boolean. Neither Playbooks nor Boards need this — both declare their plugin.json bool defaults as real JSON booleans ("default": false) and rely on LoadPluginConfiguration to deserialize into a plain bool. This PR does the same:

• plugin.json: "default": "true" → "default": true
• server/configuration.go: EnableProfileBadges *Truthy → EnableProfileBadges bool; delete the Truthy type, its Un/MarshalJSON, and the pointer-copy branch in Clone()
• server/configuration_test.go: drop TestTruthyUnmarshal; rewrite TestProfileBadgesEnabledDefaults and TestLoadEnableProfileBadgesFromMattermostConfig around plain bool semantics

Behavior note

(*configuration)(nil).profileBadgesEnabled() and (&configuration{}).profileBadgesEnabled() now return false instead of true. In practice this only affects the brief window before the first OnConfigurationChange fires; once the schema default is loaded, badges default to on as before. This also aligns with the concern raised in security-review-full-repo.md:435 about unintended fail-open in nil-guard branches.

Test plan

• go vet ./... → clean
• go test -race ./... → all packages green
• make dist → builds dist/com.mattermost.academy-0.4.0+*.tar.gz

Manual verification after installing the built bundle:

1. Fresh install, setting untouched → profile popover shows Academy badges; GET /plugins/com.mattermost.academy/api/v1/settings returns "enableProfileBadges": true.
2. System Console → Plugins → Mattermost Academy → uncheck "Show Academy badges on profiles" → badges gone; /api/v1/settings returns false; GET /api/v1/users/{userId}/completions returns 404.
3. Re-enable → badges reappear; /api/v1/settings returns true.
4. mmctl config get PluginSettings.Plugins.com\.mattermost\.academy.enableprofilebadges → real JSON bool, not a string.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The profile badge setting now uses a boolean instead of Truthy. The plugin default is boolean true. Nil configurations disable badges, while configuration changes initialise badges as enabled before loading. Tests cover boolean loading and default preservation.

Changes

Profile Badge Configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Boolean configuration and runtime defaults plugin.json, server/configuration.go	EnableProfileBadges now uses a boolean. The custom Truthy type was removed. Nil configurations return false, and configuration changes initialise the setting as enabled before loading.
Configuration loading and test coverage server/configuration_test.go	Tests now cover boolean values, the lowercased enableprofilebadges key, preserved defaults, explicit false values, and removal of obsolete Truthy parsing tests.
