Disable superfluous UI elements in Early Init

MMOSMacs is a keyboard-centric environment, there is no use for
mouse-centric UI elements such as tool-bars and menu-bars. They are now
disabled. This is done in Early Init to prevent them from being
initialized in the first place, to prevent visual stutter.

+;;; UI Adjustments
+;; ---------------
+;; The primary goal of this Section is to prevent Emacs from flashing or
+;; stuttering visually on startup.
+;;
+;; If these customizations were placed in `init.el', as is the norm,
+;; Emacs would initialize the UI elements, then make whatever
+;; customizations we wrote.
+;;
+;; By placing the customizations here, they are applied before the UI is
+;; initialized, preventing any visual glitches altogether.
