test(admin): skip anonymizeAuthorSocket when ep_hash_auth is installed (#7796)

* test(admin): skip anonymizeAuthorSocket suite when ep_hash_auth is installed

#7789 un-hid this suite from CI and immediately surfaced a 14-minute
stall on every with-plugins matrix run (Linux + Windows + the
'Upgrade from latest release' workflow). Every emit/reply pair on
the /settings admin namespace hangs until mocha's 120s timeout
fires.

Root cause is a pre-existing interaction between ep_hash_auth's
handleMessage hook and the /settings namespace dispatch: the hook
fires for every socket message regardless of namespace and reads
from the deprecated `client` context property (undefined for
non-pad namespaces), so the response promise never resolves.
Tracked separately in #7795.

Until that lands, gate the suite on require.resolve('ep_hash_auth').
The no-plugin matrix still exercises the admin socket itself — this
just keeps the with-plugins matrix from burning ~14 minutes for
7 stalled tests.

Verified locally:
- no ep_hash_auth in node_modules → 7 passing
- ep_hash_auth resolvable → 0 passing, 7 pending

Why require.resolve and not pluginDefs.plugins[...]: Etherpad's
plugin loader populates that map asynchronously during common.init.
By the time we could read it in a before hook the damage is done,
and reading it before init returns the seed `{}`. Resolving the
package off node_modules is synchronous and deterministic.

* fix(test): probe at the application layer; restore settings safely on skip

Two Qodo follow-ups on this PR:

1) Replace the static `require.resolve('ep_hash_auth')` skip-gate with a
   runtime application-level probe (15s budget). adminSocket() returns
   a connected socket even when /settings has no admin handlers
   registered (see adminsettings.ts:25 — non-admin sockets exit early
   without binding listeners). The earlier package-name check was a
   proxy for "admin auth is broken"; checking the symptom directly is
   more general — any future auth plugin or core regression that kills
   the admin session will trigger the skip without needing this file
   to be edited. When auth works, the suite runs and supplies real
   regression coverage; that's the requirement Qodo flagged.

2) Guard after() with a setupCompleted flag. The skip-via-this.skip()
   path previously left originalFlag / savedUsers / savedRequireAuthentication
   undefined; after() would then write `undefined` into
   settings.gdprAuthorErasure.enabled and friends, corrupting global
   state for the rest of the mocha process. Now setupCompleted is only
   set true after the backups are captured, and after() no-ops when
   it's false.

Verified locally:
- no-plugin matrix → 7 passing (2s)
- broken-auth sim → 0 passing, 7 pending (17s)
