[feat](trx-frontend-http): implement HTTP authentication (phases 1-3)

Add optional passphrase-based authentication with two roles (rx/control),
session management, auth middleware, and protected routes.

Phase 1: Config model with HttpAuthConfig struct, CookieSameSite enum,
validation logic for enabled auth requiring at least one passphrase.

Phase 2: Auth module with:
- AuthRole enum (Rx, Control)
- SessionRecord and SessionStore for in-memory session management
- AuthConfig at runtime
- /auth/login, /auth/logout, /auth/session endpoints
- Constant-time passphrase comparison for timing attack mitigation

Phase 3: Integration with:
- AuthMiddleware for route protection with public/read/control classification
- Server-side AuthState setup with cleanup task for expired sessions
- Auth endpoints registered in api.rs configure()

Sessions use 128-bit random IDs (hex-encoded), HttpOnly cookies, configurable
SameSite attribute. Auth is disabled by default to preserve current behavior.

All unit and integration tests passing.
