Bee 2.7.1 removed this flag (ethersphere/bee#5318). It was never functional — the snapshot feed address was hardcoded to zero. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
The
use-postage-snapshotflag was intended to bootstrap the node by fetching a postage snapshot from a Swarm feed. However, the feed address inpkg/node/bootstrap.gowas hardcoded to a zero address, rendering this feature non-functional and dormant.This implements #5317
