fix(dolt): server mode should support multi-process access

Code review fix: In server mode, Dolt connects to an external sql-server
and should NOT be single-process-only. The whole point of server mode is
to enable multi-writer access.

Changes:
- Add Config.GetCapabilities() method that considers server mode
- Update daemon_guard, daemon_autostart, daemons, main to use GetCapabilities()
- Add TestGetCapabilities test
- Update init command help text to document server mode flags

The existing CapabilitiesForBackend(string) is kept for backward compatibility
but now includes a note to use Config.GetCapabilities() when the full config
is available.
