fix(admissions): flag-off pages must not speak for the council
The secondary admissions section words the absence of a cut-off distance:
"<LA> has not published a cut-off distance for this school." That sentence
is true when the authority publishes nothing. It is false when the
authority does publish and the admission_distance flag is simply off — and
off is the current state, so every secondary page with an EES admissions
row has been making a claim about a council on our behalf.

The backend already draws the distinction the copy needs. /api/schools/{urn}
omits the admission_distance key entirely while the flag is dark rather than
sending null, precisely so that "we are not publishing cut-offs" stays
distinguishable from "this school has no cut-off"; lib/types.ts says so in
as many words. The page then collapsed the two with `?? null` before the
section ever saw them.

So stop collapsing it: thread the raw field to SecondarySchoolSections and
word the absence only when the feature is on. Null still gets the sentence
naming the authority — that case is unchanged and still tested.

Primary pages are unaffected: AdmissionsSection carries no absence copy and
renders nothing when there is no figure. DistanceSection already treated
absent and null alike; only its type widens.

/**
* Last distance offered, rendered on both detail templates.

* The figure is the one number on these pages that a parent may act on — it is
* easy to read as "we live inside the catchment, we will get a place". These
* tests pin the things that stop it being read that way: the year is always
* present, the caveat is always present, and the blanket "not available"
* sentence appears only when it is actually true.
