feat: optional mTLS - only felt-core's Felt cert gets in (WP-62 M2b B5.2, D10.2)

Off unless DRIVE_RAG_TLS_BUNDLE is set (plain HTTP as before), so this ships
ahead of the switch.

- server/mtls.py: the same module as felt-voice's (B5.1): uvicorn with TLS
  1.3, client cert required against DRIVE_RAG_TLS_CA (the pki_felt
  intermediate, partial chain - never the root); the peer must carry exactly
  one SPIFFE URI from DRIVE_RAG_TLS_ALLOWED (default felt-core), checked before
  any request byte; the server cert reloads when the bundle is renewed.
- server/serve.py: the entry point (Dockerfile CMD) - plain uvicorn or mTLS.
- tests/test_mtls.py: real test PKI (name-constrained intermediate): felt-core
  in; no cert, another Felt identity, wrong CA, TLS 1.2 refused; a renewed cert
  is picked up without a restart. 6 pass. CI runs them.

+"""mTLS for drive-rag's API (WP-62 M2b B5.2, decision D10.2).
+
+Same module as felt-voice's (felt_voice/mtls.py, B5.1): felt-core is the only
+caller. She presents her 2-hour Felt client cert; drive-rag presents its own
+(``drive-rag.felt.internal``). Both certs come from clockmost's server-side
+helper as ``bundle.pem`` (key + cert + intermediate) next to ``felt-ca.pem``
+(the pki_felt intermediate: the ONLY trust anchor - never the clockmost root).
+
+- The TLS handshake requires a client cert that chains to ``felt-ca.pem``.
+- Every connection's peer must carry exactly one SPIFFE URI and it must be in
+  ``allowed`` (felt-core's), checked before a single request byte is read.
+- The server cert is re-read when the bundle changes (renewed hourly).
