refactor: extract AuthPolicy interface from requireAuth boolean

Replace the requireAuth: Boolean parameter in NostrServer with a
pluggable AuthPolicy interface. Each policy has trigger points for
EVENT (acceptEvent), REQ (acceptReq with filter rewriting), COUNT
(acceptCount), and live event delivery (canSendToSession).

Built-in policies: OpenPolicy (allow all) and RequireAuthPolicy
(require auth for all commands, matching the previous behavior).
