Disable EGFX server-wide: Jump decode was the color bars (#611)

With the server proven clean at 5160x2160 (band analysis + freerdp on
every codec), Jump still painted bars - its EGFX large-frame decode is
broken regardless of budget. drdynvc=false blocks EGFX for all clients;
clipboard/audio ride separate channels and survive. Classic codec
verified clean at 5160 via harness. Script part 3 + xrdp bounced.

# Part 3 — EGFX off for all clients (drdynvc=false), 2026-09-01 evening
#
# Final piece of #611: with the server rendering CLEAN at 5160x2160
# (verified by band-analysis of live captures + freerdp harness on every
# codec), Jump Desktop still painted color bars down the side — its
# decode of xrdp's EGFX large frames is broken regardless of the
# compressed-frame budget. EGFX rides the drdynvc channel; blocking it
# server-side makes every client (Jump included) fall back to the
# classic codecs, which render this monitor fine. Clipboard (cliprdr)
# and audio (rdpsnd) are separate channels and survive.
