fix: NCS-122 authenticate WebSocket connections via first-message auth (#73)

Replace header-based auth (not possible with browser WebSocket API) with a
first-message auth protocol: client sends {"type":"auth","token":"<JWT>"}
as the first text frame; server validates and proceeds or closes the connection.

Both GameWebSocketResource and UserWebSocketResource now hold incoming
connections in a pendingAuth set until the auth frame arrives, preventing
any game or event messages from being processed before identity is established.

Also removes the broken Bearer-prefix handling that caused header-based auth
to silently fail even for non-browser clients.
