fix(auth): preserve JWT claim names in bearer middleware

JwtBearerOptions.MapInboundClaims defaulted to true, which mapped the
'sub' claim to ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier in HttpContext.User. Logout
endpoint read User.FindFirst("sub") and got null, returning 401 for
any authenticated caller.

Fix: set MapInboundClaims=false and pin NameClaimType="name" so the
JWT claims land in the principal with their original names, aligning
with how JwtService.GetPrincipalFromExpiredToken (used by refresh)
already consumes them.

Unblocks Login_Refresh_Logout_FullFlow integration test (15/15 green).
