refactor: rename cookie_secret to signing_key and add JWT test coverage

Breaking changes:
- Rename cookie_secret -> signing_key for clarity (JWT signing key)
- Remove redundant CookieGenerator.Secret field (unused)

Improvements:
- Fix Content-Type matching: use HasPrefix + ToLower for RFC compliance
  - Now handles: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
  - Case-insensitive: Application/X-WWW-Form-URLEncoded
- Add comprehensive JWT test coverage (20 tests):
  - Signature verification and tampering detection
  - Expiration validation
  - Token lifecycle and status transitions
  - Cookie generation and validation
  - Edge cases and malformed tokens

Updated:
- README: cookie_secret -> signing_key with JWT clarification
- Config example: updated to use signing_key
- Simplified CookieGenerator.Init() (no secret param)

All tests pass. Closes security and UX gaps in stateless captcha flow.
