chore(slack): remove dead invite path, archive checkSlackJoins poller

Wave-based onboarding makes the auto-invite + polling path obsolete.

- Removes SlackService.inviteUserToSlack — admins now send invites
  through Slack's UI and flip the flag in our admin endpoint.
- Removes the slack_invite_failed admin alert + its detector. The
  alert no longer has a meaningful trigger (we don't attempt invites).
- Archives server/utils/checkSlackJoins.js (and its test) under
  _archive/ in case the polling pattern is needed again post-pilot.
- Deletes the Nitro plugin that scheduled checkSlackJoins on boot
  + hourly. Nothing in nitro.config / nuxt.config / package.json
  registered it elsewhere.
- Drops the slack_invite_failed branch from adminAlerts.test; the
  enum slug stays in adminAlertDismissal so historical dismissal
  rows continue to validate.

notifyNewMember (vetting-channel notification) and findUserByEmail
(used by the auto-flag helper) are retained.
