Deprecate `sso_immediate_redirect` and add welcome-page only option (#19437) 

* Deprecate `sso_immediate_redirect` and add welcome-page only option

The old `sso_immediate_redirect` option is kept in code for backwards compatibility, but is replaced by `sso_redirect_options.immediate`, where a new `on_welcome_page` option is also introduced to only target entry points to the app. 

The path matching is a bit brittle, but still ideal in the sense of not showing UI while the app realizes it needs to redirect.

The new welcome page-only option is fully intended to avoid breaking permalinks and such while still redirecting when needed. In future, other options might be added here to further tune the experience.

* Add note about guests

`default_hs_url` is specified. When multiple sources are specified, it is unclear
which should take priority and therefore the application cannot continue.
* As of Element 1.4.0, identity servers are optional. See [Identity servers](#identity-servers) below.
1. `sso_immediate_redirect`: When `true`, Element will assume the default server supports SSO
and attempt to send the user there to continue (if they aren't already logged in). Default
`false`. Note that this disables all usage of the welcome page.
1. `sso_redirect_options`: Optionally defines how Element will behave with a server which supports
Single Sign On (SSO). By default, Element will do nothing special and simply show a button where
needed for the user to click to navigate to the SSO system. This behaviour can be tuned with the
config options below (as properties of the `sso_redirect_options` object). None of the options apply
if Element thinks the user is already logged in, and similarly Element will assume the default server
supports SSO if these redirect options are used.
* `immediate`: When `true` (default `false`), Element will automatically redirect all unauthenticated
users to the SSO system to log in regardless of how they reached the app. This overrides the use of
other redirect options.
* `on_welcome_page`: When `true` (default `false`), Element will automatically redirect all unauthenticated
users to the SSO to log in if the user lands on the welcome page or no specific page. For example,
https://app.element.io/#/welcome and https://app.element.io would redirect if set up to use this option.
This can be useful to maintain guest experience until an account is needed.
1. `features`: Lookup of optional features that may be force-enabled (`true`) or force-disabled (`false`).
When features are not listed here, their defaults will be used, and users can turn them on/off if `showLabsSettings`
allows them to. The available optional experimental features vary from release to release and are
