fix(uploads): drop the stray 'use server' directive that enables Server Actions app-wide

`file-utils.server.ts` was the repo's only `'use server'` module, and the sole
reason Next's `hasServerActions()` returned true. With actions registered, Next
loses its early-404 escape hatch for Server Action requests — and it classifies
a request as an action from headers alone, with no body inspection and no auth.
Any unauthenticated `POST` with `Content-Type: multipart/form-data` to any App
Router path therefore took the non-fetch action path, which bare-throws and
surfaces as an HTTP 500.

Nothing invokes these functions as Server Actions: every one of the ~77
importers is server-side, with zero `'use client'` importers. The directive was
a misuse of `'use server'` where "server-only module" was meant — the `.server.ts`
suffix already carries that convention.

Extends check-client-boundary-imports.ts to fail on any `'use server'` directive
so this cannot regress.

+ * A single `'use server'` module anywhere in the graph flips Next's

+ * of a `'use server'` module is also a remotely invocable, unauthenticated

+ * Sim has no Server Actions — server-only modules use the `.server.ts` suffix
+ * and are called directly from route handlers. If you genuinely need a Server
+ * Action, remove this check deliberately and wrap every export in auth.
