fix(ui): pass boolean inert for interactive captcha

[ArjunCodess]

Description

Sign-in and sign-up start screens passed inert="" when the captcha became interactive. React 19 treats inert as a boolean, so that empty string warns and does not inert the form.

This wires those screens through inertProps() from @clerk/shared/inert, which already landed in #8820 for React 18/19.

Fixes #9611
