Hide non-writable channels from Controls picker, gate writes on enabled+writable
Adds ChannelConfig.writable so the Controls editor can only bind to channels with a real write mapping (VS/MA/ME/MD/ST for CML, do*/DO for digital I/O, write_cmd-configured SCPI channels, holding-register Modbus channels) instead of read-only telemetry — this is exactly the class of mistake hit earlier (binding a motor-speed control to M1_TV instead of M1_VS). Also carries forward the enabled-channel gating for controls (hide disabled channels from the picker, block writes to them at _write() time) done alongside this investigation.
