Remote-settings kill switch renamed, and stale reads are discarded

The auto-mode fallback warning now names which kill switch stopped it, and stale settings reads are ignored.

What

The warning shown when auto mode falls back to the default now says which kill switch stopped it, a local override or one served in the payload. The remote-settings reader also tracks a step counter so a read that has already been superseded is logged and ignored if it fails.

Evidence

"auto mode killswitch active (override- or payload-served) — falling back to default"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
