mteehan 3654209b78 auth: fix WS session_id extraction and track WebAuthn success/failure
Browsers cannot send custom X-Session-Id header on WebSocket connections,
so decode the token payload to extract session_id. Add WebAuthn
success/failure recording to support rate limiter counter resets.

"""JWT authentication module for Vacuum Wall.
