Slavi Pantaleev 5cc69ca7eb Add whoami-based sync worker routing for user-level sticky sessions
This adds a new routing mechanism for sync workers that resolves access tokens
to usernames via Synapse's whoami endpoint, enabling true user-level sticky
routing regardless of which device or token is used.

Previously, sticky routing relied on parsing the username from native Synapse
tokens (`syt_<base64 username>_...`), which only works with native Synapse auth
and provides device-level stickiness at best. This new approach works with any
auth system (native Synapse, MAS, etc.) because Synapse handles token validation
internally.

Implementation uses nginx's auth_request module with an njs script because:
- The whoami lookup requires an async HTTP subrequest (ngx.fetch)
- js_set handlers must return synchronously and don't support async operations
- auth_request allows the async lookup to complete, then captures the result
  via response headers into nginx variables

The njs script:
- Extracts access tokens from Authorization header or query parameter
- Calls Synapse's whoami endpoint to resolve token -> username
- Caches results in a shared memory zone to minimize latency
- Returns the username via a `X-User-Identifier` header

The username is then used by nginx's upstream hash directive for consistent
worker selection. This leverages nginx's built-in health checking and failover.
