Add request-level authentication via BIP-340 Schnorr signatures using the NIP-98 HTTP Auth scheme (Authorization: Nostr <base64>). Verified identities resolve to did:nostr:<pubkey> URIs that work with existing Solid ACL rules as acl:agent values — no changes needed to the ACL layer. Tested against all 10 official http-schnorr-auth spec test vectors and verified live with read + write operations against a running NSS instance. Refs: nodeSolidServer#1845
