fix(onboard): stop a full reset from resetting the default workspace when the config is unreadable (#114110)

The unreadable-config guard tested !snapshot.sourceConfig, but
ConfigFileSnapshot.sourceConfig is required and every construction site
passes an object ({} when the read failed), so the guard never fired and
--reset-scope full fell through to its DEFAULT_WORKSPACE fallback.

Test it against snapshot.readError, the field io.snapshot.ts sets only when
the config file could not be read. A readable config that simply configures
no workspace keeps using the default.
