feat: add guest session system with JWT tokens

Phase 1.2: Guest Session System
- Guest token utilities with JWT signing/verification (jose)
- Middleware for automatic guest cookie generation
- NextAuth v5 configuration with guest provider support
- Viewer helper utility for unified session access
- API route handlers for NextAuth
- Comprehensive test coverage (22 tests passing)

Technical details:
- Uses HttpOnly cookies for security
- Conditional cookie naming (__Host- in prod, plain in dev)
- 30-day token expiration with automatic rotation
- No localStorage dependency (fully server-side)
