fix(drivers): JWKS verification for Keycloak, remove Entra fallback, gate on_behalf_of

C-1: Keycloak driver now verifies JWT signatures via JWKS.
     Forged tokens are rejected. Previously any base64 JWT was accepted.
C-2: on_behalf_of requires gsap:impersonate role in JWT claims.
C-3: Entra driver denies on JWKS failure (no unverified fallback).
H-10: JWKS cache refreshes on kid miss for key rotation.

Shared JWKSVerifier used by both drivers. alg=none blocked.
iss, aud, exp validated for all tokens.
