fix(hub): present a node-audience token in the handshake, not the hub session token

A member authenticated to a node in the MNP handshake with its hub *session*
token — scope=user, valid at the hub API for hours. A node operator is in the
threat model, so this handed them a live hub credential for the member: enough
to enumerate the member's other groups, act as them, and (before the previous
commit closed it) take the account over. The node genuinely needs a hub-signed
membership assertion, so the fix is to make that a separate credential that
opens nothing at the hub API.

Two audiences signed by the one hub key (meshbay_common/tokens.py):
- HUB_API_AUD — session tokens (login, device-auth, node-auth, refresh), used
  for hub calls and signaling. decode_access_token now binds this audience, so
  an MNP token cannot be replayed against the hub API.
- MNP_AUD — a short-lived token a member presents to a node and nothing else,
  from POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token. authorize_token now binds this audience, so a
  session token presented to a node is refused. This closes the disclosure.

The node's own self-decode (hub_client.py) reads its node token with
audience=HUB_API_AUD. The client fetches the MNP token inside transport.connect()
(and on every reconnect) using the session token, so callers are unchanged and
signaling keeps using the session token.

No regression to a long session: the MNP token is checked once, at the
handshake, before any proof — a film already playing is not re-authenticated, so
a 15-minute token does not interrupt a 4-hour film; reconnects refetch a fresh
one. Denylist and membership checks are unchanged (the MNP token carries
sub/jti/groups).

Tests: authorize_token refuses a session/no-audience token and accepts an MNP
token; the hub API refuses an MNP token; POST /v1/nodes/mnp-token is minted only
for a member's own session. Verified red-before/green-after; common, node and
hub suites green (the pre-existing test_cli_golden failure is an argparse/pytest
prog artifact unrelated to this change).

Still to do before deploy (B2): bump the MNP version and client.minimum so a
stale desktop client is told to update rather than getting a handshake refusal,
update docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md and MESHBAY_NODE_PROTOCOL.md, and validate against
a real node locally, then deploy hub+node+SPA atomically.
