feat: move check status below ring, remove checking spinner, re-enable auto-backup

- Move "X sec ago / refresh" row from inside statsStrip to directly below the
  ring hero so the last-checked time is visible near the status it describes
- Remove "Checking status…" spinner from the action button — button shows
  "Start backup" / "Back up again" at all times
- Remove "Checking…" spinner from the ring center (page 0) — ring always
  shows the pending backup count or "All photos safe"
- Re-enable autoBackupEnabled default (true) now that already-safe counting
  is accurate; auto backup will fire on LAN join when items need backup
