feat: add no-auth IAM regime as a drop-in replacement for iam-svc (#933)
Adds `no-auth-svc`, a lightweight IAM service that permits all access
unconditionally — no database, no bootstrap, no signing keys.  Deploy
it in place of `iam-svc` for development, demos, and single-user
setups where authentication overhead is unwanted.

The gateway no longer hard-codes a 401 on missing credentials.
Instead it asks the IAM regime via a new `authenticate-anonymous`
operation whether token-free access is allowed.  This keeps the
gateway regime-agnostic: `iam-svc` rejects anonymous auth (preserving
existing security), while `no-auth-svc` grants it with a configurable
default user and workspace.

Includes a tech spec (docs/tech-specs/no-auth-regime.md) and tests
that pin the safety boundary — malformed tokens never fall through
to the anonymous path, and a contract test ensures the full iam-svc
always rejects `authenticate-anonymous`.

"""
Tests for gateway/auth.py — IamAuth, JWT verification, API key
resolution cache.
JWTs are signed with real Ed25519 keypairs generated per-test, so
the crypto path is exercised end-to-end without mocks. API-key
resolution is tested against a stubbed IamClient since the real
one requires pub/sub.
