🔥(backend) remove the S3 storage-event webhook for recordings

Recordings used to be finalized by an inbound notifications sent by
S3. This tied the recording lifecycle to bucket notifications, adding
complexity and dependency to limited S3 services.

The LiveKit egress_ended webhook, added as a fallback in aee1847, does
the same job without any object-storage dependency. Make it the only
mechanism: RecordingEventsService.handle_complete is now called on
EGRESS_COMPLETE / EGRESS_LIMIT_REACHED unconditionally, instead of only
when RECORDING_STORAGE_EVENT_ENABLE is False. Remove the storage-event
path entirely.

To use the room recording feature, the following components are required:
- A running [LiveKit Egress](https://github.com/livekit/egress) server capable of handling room composite recordings.
- A S3-compatible object storage that supports webhook events to notify the backend when recordings are uploaded.
- A S3-compatible object storage where the egress uploads the recorded files.
- An email service to notify room owners when a recording is available for download.
- Webhook events configured between LiveKit Server and the backend.
> [!CAUTION]
> Minio supports lifecycle events; other providers may not work out of the box. There is currently a dependency on Minio, which is planned to be refactored in the future.

> Celery isnt in use for these async tasks yet. Its something wed like to add, but its not planned at this stage.

### Manual Storage Webhook
Storage events must be configured manually; the Kubernetes chart does not do this automatically.
1. Configure your S3 bucket to send file creation events to the backend webhook.
2. Enable events and token in settings:
```python
RECORDING_STORAGE_EVENT_ENABLE = True
RECORDING_ENABLE_STORAGE_EVENT_AUTH = True
RECORDING_STORAGE_EVENT_TOKEN = <token>
