Cloud accounts without access to WhatsApp Quick setup currently fall
directly into manual configuration, with no explanation of how to
request the easier Meta flow.
This adds a compact access-request card above manual setup. It explains
that Quick setup with Meta can connect either a new number or an
eligible existing number from the WhatsApp Business app, then opens the
existing support widget so the account can be reviewed. The enabled
state now uses the same customer-facing language.

### Things to know
- The access card is Cloud-only and appears when the account-level
WhatsApp Quick setup feature is disabled.
- The global Meta incident restriction still takes precedence and
continues to show the existing incident warning.
- Manual setup remains available, and self-hosted behavior is unchanged.
- Requesting access opens Chatwoot support; it does not automatically
enable the account feature.
- Meta documents the existing WhatsApp Business app number path as
coexistence onboarding:

### How to test
1. On Chatwoot Cloud, set `DISABLE_META_INBOX_CREATION` to `false`.
2. Open WhatsApp inbox creation for an account without
`whatsapp_embedded_signup_inbox_creation`.
3. Confirm the Quick setup with Meta request card appears above the
unchanged manual configuration form.
4. Select **Request access** and confirm the support widget opens.
5. Enable `whatsapp_embedded_signup_inbox_creation` for the account and
reload.
6. Confirm the enabled Quick setup with Meta screen appears and
describes both new numbers and eligible existing WhatsApp Business app
numbers.
7. Set `DISABLE_META_INBOX_CREATION` to `true` and confirm the incident
warning appears instead of the access-request card.
