fix(mcp): eager-auth flag so claude.ai's connector dialog detects OAuth, not "None" (#2159)

claude.ai's two-step "Add custom connector" dialog probes the server URL
without credentials and pre-fills the Authentication choice from the
answer. Our lazy-auth endpoint (issue #1814) answers 200 on an anonymous
initialize, which the dialog reads as an authless server: it suggests
"None", and a connector added with that default never opens the sign-in
when the challenge arrives later. Per Anthropic's connector docs a 401 is
the only answer it reads as OAuth ("Claude does not honor a
WWW-Authenticate header on a 200 response").

- `auth=required` on the endpoint URL (extensions/general/mcp-server/
  auth-mode.ts) turns lazy auth off for that URL: every tokenless
  request, initialize included, answers the 401 + WWW-Authenticate
  challenge. Callers with a token are unaffected; the bare URL keeps
  lazy auth for Claude Code, the plugin, Cursor and ChatGPT, and existing
  connector records are untouched.
- The links we control carry the flag: Settings -> API & MCP (install
  link and copy block), the onboarding checklist, both docs pages and
  claude-plugin/CONNECTORS.md (plugin 1.2.3). The docs' Path A now
  describes the eager flow (sign-in opens on Add) instead of telling
  users to override the dialog's "None".
- Tests: eager-auth.test.ts (401 on initialize/tools/list/public tools,
  namespaced metadata pointer, token no-op, exact-flag only); checklist
  link shape updated.

Companion: gnubok-website PR (Kom igång connector link + regenerated
connect-claude / anslut-claude pages).
