test(server): comic negative-case assertions target display values, not admin-modal labels

The whole-body "should not display Manga Type / Scan Info" assertions
could never pass: every book-detail page for an admin carries the
edit modal, whose form labels ("Manga Type", "Scan Information") and
option texts ("Yes (Right to Left)") share vocabulary with the
metadata display block. This was pre-existing rot — the test never
ran to completion before today because an earlier panic killed the
process first.

Replaced with value-level checks that only the display block could
produce ("yes and right to left", "B&W"): absent for plain ebooks and
unknown-manga-type items, matching the templ guards in
book_detail.templ. Emoji-icon asserts dropped from the RTL/Story-Arc
positive steps — the redesigned comic badge renders text chips
without icons.
