Adds two SPIFFE-based auth flows to the reverse proxy, all configured under a single `spiffe` route field: - **JWT-SVID injection**: fetches a JWT-SVID from the SPIRE Workload API and injects it as a bearer token (or any header) into upstream requests. Tokens are cached and refreshed before expiry. - **OAuth2 client assertion** (RFC 7523): uses the JWT-SVID as a `client_assertion` in an OAuth2 `client_credentials` grant, exchanging it for an access token at a configured IdP. All flows are fail-closed: if the SPIRE socket is unreachable at startup, or credential acquisition fails at request time, the proxy returns 503 rather than forwarding unauthenticated.
