When true, staking does not mint. It expects an external source to fund
the general reward pot. At era boundary, rewards are snapshotted from
the pot. EraPayout is not called.
When false, staking uses the legacy path: EraPayout computes inflation,
tokens are minted on-the-fly during payout.
Irreversible: once set to true, must never be switched back. Eras
created in non-minting mode have funded reward pots — switching to legacy
would orphan those pots and cause double-minting.
