feat(ocr): make OCR functionality optional via configuration

The OCR feature can now be enabled or disabled using a new `OCR_ENABLED` configuration flag.

This allows for more flexible deployments where the OCR feature is not required, reducing the application's resource footprint and dependency overhead.

The backend now conditionally initializes the OCR engine and its associated route. The frontend UI for OCR uploads is also rendered conditionally based on this setting.
