AI Sidebar: gate AI features on Big Sky across the WordPress.com plat…
e00198f 
…form

Previously wpcom Simple always reported AI features as available and
Atomic/WoA relied on the connection owner. Both now require the Big Sky
plugin to be active, matching how the preview surface is already gated.
Extracts the Big Sky check into is_big_sky_enabled() so the preview gate
and has_ai_features() share one source of truth, and adds tests covering
the platform branches that the preview gate previously masked.
