fix(auth): require Bearer on /mcp regardless of DefaultToken
Previously BearerMiddleware allowed requests with no Authorization
header to pass through whenever GITEA_MCP_DEFAULT_TOKEN was set. The
intent was "fall back to the service PAT for upstream Gitea calls,"
but the side effect was that anyone could hit /mcp anonymously and the
server would happily proxy requests as the service account.

Drop that path. Auth on /mcp now requires either:
  - a valid Dex-issued JWT, or
  - a Bearer matching GITEA_MCP_STATIC_TOKEN.

The Gitea service PAT (GITEA_MCP_DEFAULT_TOKEN) is no longer wired
into BearerMiddleware at all — it stays an upstream-client concern,
used by gitea.NewClient for outbound API calls only. This decouples
"can this caller invoke a tool" from "what credentials does the tool
use against Gitea".

Tests updated: drop the NoAuthHeader_WithDefault permissive case, add
NoAuthHeader_RejectsEvenWhenStaticConfigured to lock in the new
behavior.

Closes part of mathias/infra#2.

// BearerMiddleware authenticates requests via the Authorization header.

// A request is allowed when:
//
// 1. The Bearer token is a valid JWT issued by the configured Dex OIDC server, or
// 2. The Bearer token matches staticToken (constant-time compare).
//
// Any other case — including missing or empty Authorization header — returns 401.
//
// The Gitea service PAT is intentionally NOT used to authenticate the caller:
// it is only used by the Gitea client for upstream API calls. Decoupling the
// two prevents the MCP endpoint from being reachable anonymously when a service
// PAT happens to be configured.
