Merge prototype/reverse-proxy with proxy clustering support

Combines token-based authentication from upstream with proxy clustering: - Session keys for JWT signing (SessionPrivateKey/SessionPublicKey) - One-time token store for proxy authentication - Cluster-targeted updates via SendReverseProxyUpdateToCluster - ProxyCluster field derived from domain - OIDC validation config support Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
