Revert Kimi partnership UI, restore daily limit survey (#663)

* docs: add uBlock Origin install info to getting started and ad-blocking pages

Chrome dropped support for the full uBlock Origin extension — highlight
that BrowserOS brings it back and make it easy to install from both the
getting started guide and the dedicated ad-blocking page.

* feat: revert Kimi partnership UI, restore daily limit survey

Remove Kimi/Moonshot AI partnership branding from the rate limit
banner, provider card, provider templates, and LLM hub. Restore
the original survey CTA on daily limit errors. Moonshot AI remains
as a regular provider template without the "Recommended" badge.

* fix: address Greptile review comments

- Guard survey CTA with !isCreditsExhausted to avoid showing it for
  credits-exhausted users who already see "View Usage & Billing"
- Remove dead kimi-launch feature flag files (kimi-launch.ts,
  useKimiLaunch.ts)
- Remove unused KIMI_RATE_LIMIT analytics events
- Remove VITE_PUBLIC_KIMI_LAUNCH from env schema and .env.example

-## How It Works
+## Why BrowserOS?
 
-Chrome has been [phasing out support](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline) for Manifest V2 extensions, which uBlock Origin relies on for its full blocking capabilities. We re-enabled Manifest V2 support in BrowserOS so uBlock Origin can run at full power.
+Chrome [killed support](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline) for uBlock Origin by phasing out Manifest V2 extensions. The only option left on Chrome is "uBlock Origin Lite," a significantly weaker version that can't use advanced filtering rules.
