feat(enableable): fix is_enableable() to handle both classes and instances

The is_enableable() function previously only worked for instances because
it used isinstance(), which doesn't work correctly for type objects when
using a custom metaclass. This caused enableable configs to not be
detected during widget creation.

Changes:
- Updated is_enableable() to check isinstance(obj, type) and use
  issubclass() for classes, isinstance() for instances
- Added comprehensive docstring explaining the dual behavior
- Wrapped issubclass() in try/except to handle non-class types

This fixes the issue where enableable config classes like
StepMaterializationConfig(Enableable) were not being detected as
enableable, causing their enabled checkboxes to not be promoted to
the title area in the UI.

Testing:
- is_enableable(StepMaterializationConfig) now returns True (was False)
- is_enableable(StepMaterializationConfig()) still returns True
- Works for all enableable config types in OpenHCS
