Automatically Disable legacy "Post via Email" feature #32

Description

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

The "Post via Email" feature (Settings → Writing) is a legacy WordPress feature that most sites don't use. It poses a security risk since anyone with the secret email address can publish posts to the site. Modern workflows use the WordPress mobile app or admin interface instead.

The wp-framework should disable this feature by default as part of its opinionated security/cleanup approach.

  • Hiding the settings UI only (leaves underlying functionality intact)
  • Adding a filter to allow re-enabling for edge cases where clients need it
