fix(web): switches announce their real state to screen readers

[Leos-Khai]

What Changed

The shared web Switch (apps/web/src/components/ui/switch.tsx) now only passes aria-checked when it is rendering the mixed state. For every normal on/off switch, Base UI's own aria-checked="true|false" reaches the DOM again.

Added switch.test.tsx asserting the switch root exposes aria-checked="true", "false", and "mixed". The test fails on main and passes with the fix.

Why

Since #10639 the component passed aria-checked={mixed ? "mixed" : undefined}. Base UI's mergeProps copies every key it is given, including keys set to undefined, so that undefined overwrote Base UI's real aria-checked and React dropped the attribute entirely. A role="switch" with no aria-checked is treated as off by every screen reader, so every toggle in the web and desktop app (providers, integrations, connections, project defaults, device hub) was announced as "off" regardless of its state and never re-announced after toggling.

Rendered output on main vs. this branch:

main:   <span role="switch" tabindex="0" aria-label="Enable Claude Code" data-checked="">
branch: <span role="switch" tabindex="0" aria-label="Enable Claude Code" data-checked="" aria-checked="true">

Mobile is unaffected (native Switch / Pressable with accessibilityState). No visual change.

@juliusmarminge Ready for review whenever you have a moment. Small one: every non-mixed switch in the web/desktop app was rendering role="switch" without aria-checked, so screen readers announced it as off no matter what state it was in (the provider enable toggles in Settings, for example). One-line fix plus a regression test. Like #11199, I'm blind and this is something I hit day to day. Checks are green and Macroscope approved.
