Make non-profit status more explicit

Our non-profit status should be more explicit, particularly when we're promoting the organisation or asking for support/donations. This post suggests adding a "non-profit" callout in the Codidact sidebar panel.

Our non-profit status on our network should be more explicit. Currently that sidebar text is baked into the code, and we could easily edit that code to add "non-profit", and that wouldn't be worse for other instances that have to route around our baked-in URLs, but maybe we can do better.

Proposed solution: add a (global) site setting with a text value, like the tour settings. Generalize the current text so it's not about our network specifically, as a default and an example/starting point for other networks. Modify the sidebar view to check for the existence of this setting and display it if found (like we do for chat). After we deploy this change, edit that global site setting in prod and on the dev server to have the current text + the non-profit part.

The change to add the setting is merged, but there is an issue with caching that needs to be fixed before we deploy, and only after deploying can we update that language on our network. I'm keeping this open until that all happens so we can easily find it and its meta post.
