web: disable the site-wide InstallPrompt PWA banner (TK-11155)

Comment out the import + usage of <InstallPrompt /> in layout.tsx rather
than deleting the component, so re-enabling the "Add to Home Screen" nag
later is a 2-line uncomment. The native iOS/Android app is now the install
path Homes on Spec is steering users toward.

Reversible: uncomment the two marked lines in layout.tsx, or git revert.
