✨ Added specific-tier option to editor preview

[kevinansfield]

closes https://linear.app/ghost/issue/BER-3820/

• when previewing a post in the editor it's now possible to select a specific tier, alongside the free/paid options
• useful when checking paywalls and tier-specific content when full content is only available to a limited paid audience

Walkthrough

Removed the previewByTier private feature from the advanced labs list and feature-related preview logic. Email preview audience parameters now use member_status and optional member_tier. Membership tiers load without the feature flag when paid memberships are enabled. Acceptance tests no longer configure the flag or cover the legacy memberSegment path.
