New: customer mode

Some computers running IgniteRemote belong to customers, not staff — a shop that booked a
single remote job and installed the agent with a setup code. Those machines now know what
they are: Unattended Access, Admin Mode and USB Settings disappear from the tray menu
and the main window, so the promise made at booking — nobody connects without you clicking
approve — cannot be switched off by anyone, including us.

Hidden rather than greyed out, on purpose: a disabled switch invites the question of how to
enable it, and on these machines the honest answer is that it does not apply. Tool sharing
stays — it is the entire reason the agent is on that machine.

The mode is remembered permanently and never reverses on its own. A machine that briefly
cannot reach the server does not quietly get the controls back.

New: End session — a button, not a promise

The live-session banner told you who was connected and how long they had been there, and
gave you nothing to do about it. There is now an End session button in the banner.

It stops the screen locally FIRST — before telling the server — so no slow network or
expired login can keep a session alive after you have said stop. If the server cannot be
reached afterwards, the log says plainly that nothing is being shared either way.

No confirmation dialog. Someone clicking this wants it to stop now; restarting a session
costs a phone call, and the other mistake does not undo.
