Description
### Description
Implement a top-level boolean flag for handling the splitting of api-server into core & execution per https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/administration-and-deployment/web-stack.html#separating-api-servers
### Use case/motivation
The motivation for this is to harden the Airflow deployment. Currently if the UI gets overwhelmed through bad queries (n+1) or just too many users / large dags the api-servers can stop responding for both the UI (not good) & the workers (really bad). See this issue for more info https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/56635#issuecomment-3541585677

Research direction
Start with the Airflow Helm Chart configuration and the linked documentation on separating API servers. Trace how the chart currently deploys the api-server and determine where a top-level boolean option would control separate core and execution services. Done means the option renders the intended split while preserving the existing default behavior.
