When Sharing is disabled at the system level, success message should not appear when a user when tries to enable at the instance level

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to System Settings > Sharing
2. Disable Sharing (uncheck box)
3. Navigate to Instance Settings > Miscellaneous > Sharing
4. Assert Sharing is disabled
5. Click on toggle to enable Sharing
6. Click save
7. Assert system returns a success message

Expected result:
The toggle is enabled for Sharing.

Actual result:
The toggle is still disabled.

If Sharing is disabled in System Settings, a user either:
1. Cannot interact with the toggle in instance settings or
2. Will see an error message telling them that they cannot enable Sharing

Furthermore if Sharing is disabled in System Settings > System Scope > Sharing, the checkbox in System Settings > Virtual Instance Scope > Virtual Instance Sharing should also be disabled. Otherwise this could become confusing to the end user.

This seems to be related to LPS-91646, except instead of Site Settings it is Instance Settings in view here.

Reproduced on:
Tomcat 9.0.10 + MySQL 5.7.
