The optional workers in getcord#24 doesn't quite work right: because env variables are always strings, `generate-dotenv.cjs` will set these two new env vars to the string `'false'` -- which is truthy. So the console and admin workers will always be deactivated unless we set the value to the string `''` or similar, which is confusing for these boolean-sounding settings. Instead, we can just check if the port number is set, and skip if not, which is nice that we don't need a new env var -- you can just set the port number to the empty string to deactivate. This does have a similar issue, in that if you set the port to `0'`, it will still try to activate the optional worker -- but `parseListenPort` will immediately yell that `0` is an invalid port so at least you know immediately.
