fix(dashboard): un-gate Dev Tools sidebar section from Debug Mode (#14021)

Removed the visibility: "debug" field from the 'devtools' section in
sidebarVisibility/sections.ts. It was the only section using this gate,
so with debugMode defaulting to false, Playground/Translator/Search
Tools were completely absent from both the live Sidebar and Settings ->
Sidebar, with no toggle and no explanation.
