Short URL: Change default expiration to never (#115029)

Browse Source 
* Short Links: Change default expiration to never expire (-1)

Previously, short links defaulted to expiring after 7 days. This change
updates the default to -1 (never expire) to prevent automatic deletion
of shared dashboard links.

Changes:
- conf/defaults.ini: Set expire_time = -1 and update comment
- conf/sample.ini: Set expire_time = -1 and update comment
- pkg/setting/setting.go: Update MustInt default from 7 to -1

The cleanup logic already handles -1 correctly (only runs when > 0),
so no changes needed there.

This unblocks progress on short URL feature improvements by ensuring
shared links remain accessible indefinitely by default.

* fix go

* update docs / comments

* update missed comment in sample.ini

* Revert "fix go"

This reverts commit e0d099ae31.

* chore: update workspace dependencies

Run 'make update-workspace' to sync Go workspace dependencies.
This updates go.mod and go.sum files to match the current workspace state.

* chore: add modowner for apps/quotas dependency

Assign @grafana/grafana-search-and-storage as owner for apps/quotas
dependency to satisfy modowners CI check.

#### `expire_time`
Short links that are never accessed are considered expired or stale and are deleted as cleanup.
Short links that are never accessed are considered expired or stale and can be deleted as cleanup.
Set the expiration time in days.
The default is `7` days.
The default is `-1` days (never expire).
The maximum is `365` days.
A setting above the maximum uses the value `365` instead.
Setting `0` means the short links are cleaned up approximately every 10 minutes.
A negative value such as `-1` disables expiry.
{{< admonition type="caution" >}}
Short links without an expiration increase the size of the database and can't be deleted. Grafana recommends setting a duration based on your specific use case
