Add UI hiding features for role requests, expiring roles, and ownership selection

[jonathanhle]

Hi!,

We don't use Role Requests at all, and our group ownership is handled through YAML configs that sync with the DB via plugins. The manual UI controls for these features are creating user support noise - people see buttons they shouldn't use and ask us about them/click them & generate unneeded notification pings/support tickets.

This PR adds config flags to hide UI elements that organizations might not need:

• Role Requests navigation section
• Group/role ownership buttons
• Edit buttons for groups and roles
• Various group management controls

Everything defaults to current behavior (no breaking changes). Just gives orgs a way to streamline the interface to match their actual workflows.

This would let organizations hide the parts they don't use and reduce user confusion.

All the backend functionality stays intact - this is purely frontend conditional rendering based on config flags. Added docs and examples following the existing config pattern.

This is me trying not to have to manage a fork again, but I realize some of this might be weird for upstream.

Let me know what you think.

• [nitpick] Consider extracting this complex conditional into a well-named variable for easier understanding and future maintenance.

Got some help with Access this week, but new help decided to move the project internal for a bit. Will try to figure out how to undiverge later. Can leave this PR open if anything interesting to anyone, but not sure what will happen if it's tries to merge.
