Apparently in v4 the Admin UI settings to choose whether to publish server statistics and publish the list of discovered servers was removed and made true by default, requiring admins to change the settings in a config file: mastodon#19407

This is not only a pain in the ass, but is not available to admins using managed hosting.

I will see about reinstating these in the admin UI.

Looks like the default setting for admins to set noindex to true or false for new users is also gone. Gotta bring that one back too.

Oh nice, someone already put back noindex: mastodon#22205 -- I'm cherry-picking that commit.

I also just filed this PR to Mastodon to bring back the option to suppress the discovered servers list: mastodon#22810

Hopefully both of these changes will be in a future Mastodon release, but regardless they will be in the next Hometown release.

Bring back server privacy settings that were removed in v4.0.0 (#1256)
b2ea7f7 
This PR adds a "Hometown" tab to the "Server Settings" menu for
administrators. I have placed our site-wide RSS default opt-in/opt-out
setting here, and future Hometown-specific site-wide settings will go
there too.

This PR also brings back the site-wide setting for whether users are
default opted in to or out of search engine indexing (thanks @prplecake)
and the site-wide setting for whether the list of discovered servers is
available to the public via the API. Both options are under Server
Settings -> Discovery now.

Fixes #1211
