feat(nc-webhook): receive Nextcloud file events instead of polling

The watchfiles-based watcher works but duplicates Nextcloud's own
notion of "this file changed." NC has a webhook_listeners app that
can POST file events to an external URL. This adds the mule side of
that handshake.

- POST /api/v1/internal/nc-webhook authenticates a Bearer token
  (NEXTCLOUD_WEBHOOK_SECRET, hmac.compare_digest) and dispatches the
  same scan_folder / handle_file_deletion machinery the watcher used.
- Handles NodeCreated, NodeWritten, NodeDeleted, NodeRenamed.
  Renamed is mapped to delete-old + scan-new-parent. Maps NC's
  /admin/files/... path to the bind-mounted /nextcloud-users/admin/files/...
- backend/scripts/register_nc_webhooks.py is the idempotent
  registrar: lists existing webhooks, deletes any pointing at the
  target URL, then POSTs four fresh ones via OCS.
- Sets the env passthrough on backend + all workers in compose so
  the same secret is available wherever the registrar might run.

watch_folders stays in place for now — webhooks become primary, the
watcher is a belt-and-suspenders fallback. Drop the watcher in a
follow-up once webhooks are proven reliable on this NC instance.

"""Internal webhook receiver for Nextcloud file events.
Replaces the watchfiles-based `watch_folders` Celery task: instead of
mule polling the bind-mount with inotify, Nextcloud's `webhook_listeners`
app POSTs here on every NodeCreated / NodeWritten / NodeDeleted /
NodeRenamed event, and we dispatch the same scan_folder /
handle_file_deletion machinery that the watcher used.
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer <NEXTCLOUD_WEBHOOK_SECRET>` header.
constant_time compare. 401 on mismatch, 401 also when the secret isn't
configured (fail closed).
The route is intentionally outside `/api/v1/photos/...` so it doesn't
get caught by the per-user auth middleware — webhook requests come
from Nextcloud as a service principal, not as a logged-in user. They
get NO mule app session.
