Add support for a bookmarks-only mode #716

This adds the ability to disable manually-entered connection details in favor of bookmarks. Feel free to recommend any changes that better align with project directions.

The use-case for this self-hosting and avoiding users to ever provide connection details. A connect backend is sortof similar, but bookmarks already go 90% of the way and come baked-in.

When pgweb bookmarks dont exist i get this UI:

After clicking on the "Connect" button:

In this particular case i think its best if we can display a message like "No bookmarks available" and an explanation that Pgweb is running in bookmarks-only mode and connecting to custom databases is not allowed.

Hid the connect button and showed an error reading:

Running in bookmarks-only mode but NO bookmarks configured

Also added errors when attempting to start with URL or host + port or connect-backend set.
