Fix daemon startup optimizations and buffer initialization

- Remove (not (daemonp)) checks from early-init.el performance blocks.
  This allows Emacs to properly optimize file name handlers, UI rendering
  suppression, and frame resizing when starting as a background server.
- Move initial-major-mode and initial-scratch-message from
  early-init.el to init.el to prevent silent overwrites by custom.el.
- Move default-input-method to init.el.
