feat(auth): add multi-user BasicAuth pass-through mode

Implement multi-user BasicAuth pass-through mode (ADR-020) where each
request includes BasicAuth credentials that are forwarded to Nextcloud
APIs without persistent storage.

Changes:
- Add _get_client_from_basic_auth() in context.py to extract credentials
  from Authorization header (set by BasicAuthMiddleware)
- Add AstrolabeClient for app password provisioning via Astrolabe API
- Update oauth_sync.py with dual credential support (app passwords first,
  then refresh tokens as fallback)
- Simplify oauth_tools.py provisioning logic
- Add integration tests for app password provisioning and multi-user BasicAuth

Features:
- Stateless multi-user mode: credentials passed per-request
- Optional background sync via app passwords (stored in Astrolabe)
- Falls back to refresh tokens if app password not available
- Test coverage for provisioning flow and pass-through mode
