Subject: [PATCH] [Android] Hide NTP ad settings when Rewards is disabled by
 policy (#36224)

Hides the "Show New Tab Page Ads" toggle and the
"Learn more about new tab page ads" link in
Settings -> New Tab Page when Brave Rewards is disabled by policy.
Both controls remain visible and functional otherwise.

Also switches BackgroundImagesPreferences to retrieve the profile via
the inherited getProfile() instead of the legacy
ProfileManager.getLastUsedRegularProfile().

Resolves: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/55312
