feat(auth): elicit Astrolabe URL on missing app password

When a tool requiring Nextcloud access is called without a stored app
password (Login Flow v2 mode), the @require_scopes decorator now invokes
MCP elicitation with a clickable Astrolabe settings URL — reconstructed
from NEXTCLOUD_PUBLIC_ISSUER_URL / NEXTCLOUD_HOST — before raising
ProvisioningRequiredError. Clients without elicitation support fall back
to the existing text error.

Surfaced by cbcoutinho/nextcloud-mcp-server#752, where users hit a 401
after OAuth and had no clickable URL to start Login Flow v2 from.
