Subject: [PATCH] fix(cli): suppress startup messages for immich-admin (#25928)

fix(server): suppress startup messages for immich-admin CLI Introduce a log_message() helper function with QUIET flag to suppress informational startup output when running immich-admin. This prevents both shell messages and Node.js WASI experimental warnings from interfering with CLI help output. Fixes: #25909
