refactor(auth): replace JWT authentication with server-side sessions

Migrate from stateless JWT tokens to server-side session management
backed by PostgreSQL. Sessions are hashed with SHA-256 before storage,
cleaned up periodically, and invalidated on logout. This removes the
need for JWT_SECRET/COOKIE_SECRET environment variables and the
golang-jwt dependency.
