1. Disable transfers when in maintenance mode …

   Why these changes are being introduced:
   
   In anticipation of migrating to new AWS infrastructure, we will
   need to pause file uploads for a bit.
   
   Relevant ticket(s):
   
   * https://mitlibraries.atlassian.net/browse/ETD-649
   
   How this addresses that need:
   
   This adds a maintenance mode feature, toggled via the flipflop
   gem, that disables and hides the thesis transfer form and changes
   the welcome message on `transfer/new` to explain what is happening.
   A custom message can be configured to provide additional details.
   
   Side effects of this change:
   
   * It is still technically possible to post a new transfer if one
   were to bypass the form. I find it unlikely that transfer submitters
   would try to hack this, but if it's a concern, we could try a
   different approach.
   * Currently, maintenance mode only disables thesis transfers. I chose
   to give the feature a more generalized name in case we want to use
   it to disable additional functionality in the future.
