chore: remove useCorsSSLConfig hook and absoluteUrl startup patch

[billywithaw1lly]

Remove useCorsSSLConfig hook and the absoluteUrl startup patch — both are dead code that only existed to patch Meteor.absoluteUrl's secure and rootUrl defaults, which have no consumers once the Meteor webapp/DDP layer is removed. Both files contain TODO comments explicitly marking them for removal.

• Deleted apps/meteor/client/views/root/hooks/useCorsSSLConfig.ts
• Deleted apps/meteor/client/meteor/startup/absoluteUrl.ts
• Removed useCorsSSLConfig() call and import from AppLayout.tsx
• Removed absoluteUrl startup import from meteor/startup/index.ts

Closes #40349
Closes #40348

No functional changes — this is dead code removal. Verify no remaining references by running:
grep -r "useCorsSSLConfig" apps/meteor/client/

Straightforward cleanup. No behavior changes expected.
