Lock `phabricator.show-prototypes`

Description

Lock phabricator.show-prototypes

Summary:
Two goals:

  • If an attacker compromises an administrator account (without compromising the host itself), they can currently take advantage of vulnerabilities in prototype applications by enabling the applications, then exploiting the vulnerability. Locking this option requires CLI access to enable prototypes, so installs which do not have prototypes enabled have no exposure to security issues in prototype applications.
  • Making this very slightly harder to enable is probably a good thing, given the state of the world and support.

Test Plan: Verified that web UI shows the value is locked and instructs the user to update via the CLI.
