docs(admin): consolidate duplicate bruteforcesettings app warning
Merged the two identical "disabling the app does not stop BFP" warnings into one improved warning in the canonical location (the brute force settings app section). The fail2ban comparison section already conveys the same point inline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: skjnldsv <skjnldsv@protonmail.com>
