ipn/ipnlocal: skip AuthKey use if profiles exist (#18619)

If any profiles exist and an Authkey is provided via syspolicy, the
AuthKey is ignored on backend start, preventing re-auth attempts. This
is useful for one-time device provisioning scenarios, skipping authKey
use after initial setup when the authKey may no longer be valid.
