fix(setting): ensure DefaultRole stores role ID while exposing role name in APIs

- Simplified initial settings to use `model.GUEST` as the default role ID instead of querying roles at startup.
- Updated `GetSetting`, `ListSettings` handlers to:
  - Convert stored role ID into the corresponding role name when returning data.
  - Preserve dynamic role options for selection.
- Removed unused `strings` import and role preloading logic from `InitialSettings`.
- This change avoids DB dependency during initialization while keeping consistent role display for frontend clients.
