feat: Implement ADR-005 unified token verifier to eliminate token passthrough vulnerability

Replace two non-compliant token verifiers (NextcloudTokenVerifier and
ProgressiveConsentTokenVerifier) with a single UnifiedTokenVerifier that properly
validates token audiences per MCP Security Best Practices specification.

The previous implementation had a critical security vulnerability where tokens
intended for the MCP server were passed directly to Nextcloud APIs without
proper audience validation (token passthrough anti-pattern). This violates
OAuth 2.0 security principles and the MCP specification.

Changes:
- Add UnifiedTokenVerifier supporting two compliant modes:
  * Multi-audience mode (default): Validates tokens contain BOTH MCP and
    Nextcloud audiences, enabling direct use without exchange
  * Token exchange mode (opt-in): Validates MCP audience only, exchanges
    for Nextcloud tokens via RFC 8693 with caching to minimize latency

- Remove token passthrough vulnerability from context.py and context_helper.py
- Implement token exchange caching (5-minute TTL default) to reduce network calls
- Add required environment variables for audience validation:
  * NEXTCLOUD_MCP_SERVER_URL - MCP server URL (used as audience)
  * NEXTCLOUD_RESOURCE_URI - Nextcloud resource identifier
  * TOKEN_EXCHANGE_CACHE_TTL - Cache TTL for exchanged tokens

- Update docker-compose.yml with resource URI configuration for both OAuth modes
- Add comprehensive test suite (29 tests) covering both authentication modes
- Remove legacy NextcloudTokenVerifier and ProgressiveConsentTokenVerifier

Security improvements:
- Eliminates token passthrough anti-pattern
- Enforces proper audience separation between MCP and Nextcloud
- Complies with MCP Security Best Practices and RFC 8707/8693
- Maintains performance with token exchange caching

Test results: 65/65 unit tests passed, 5/5 smoke tests passed
