P1 Badge Persist admin bypass in chat state, not device-local prefs

setNoForwardsAdminsBypassEnabled writes the override flag into mainPreferences, which is local to a single client install, and shouldBypassNoForwardsForCurrentUser relies on that same local key for admin bypass decisions. This means an owner enabling the toggle does not propagate to other admins (or even the owner's other devices), so admins still cannot bypass noforwards despite the owner having enabled the option.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
