feat(api): unify profile management with config-aware services

- profile-reader: fix isApiProfileConfigured to check settings.json fallback
- profile-reader: exclude 'default' profile (native Claude) from listings
- profile-routes: use createApiProfile/removeApiProfile services
- provider-presets: add category field (recommended/alternative)
- recovery-manager: remove auto-creation of GLM/GLMT/Kimi profiles
