Remove the dead Thorium/Fitatu autostart instead of splitting it
setup_thorium_startup.sh (443 lines) was queued for a split under the 250-line
cap. It turned out the feature it installs has been broken since Thorium was
removed in favour of chromium/librewolf.

/usr/local/bin/thorium-browser is now only a leftover symlink to
browser-preexec-wrapper, which routes by basename to /usr/bin/<name>. With no
/usr/bin/thorium-browser it falls into its testing branch and treats the URL as
the binary, so every boot logged:

  thorium-browser: line 33: /https://www.fitatu.com/app/planner: No such file

while systemd reported status=0/SUCCESS and "Finished". The success status is
why this went unnoticed.

Splitting a 443-line script to keep a dead feature under a line cap is the
wrong work, so it is deleted instead, along with its checker.

Removing check_thorium_startup() from check_and_enable_services.sh is the part
that makes this stick: its report_and_fix RE-RAN the installer whenever the
service was not enabled, so deleting only the deployed units would have let
them come back. Verified afterwards that the hourly maintenance timer runs a
deployed script with no thorium reference, and that nothing on a timer invokes
the checker at all.

Also removed from fresh-install/main.sh so new machines skip it. Units disabled
and all four deployed files removed. The generic browser-candidate lists that
merely mention thorium are left alone.
