feat(server): add mTLS certificate bootstrap via JWT for Home connections

- Introduced `-home-jwt` flag and `HOME_JWT` environment variable to provide JWT for mTLS certificate generation.
- Added new APIs to handle certificate requests, validate JWT claims, and manage local certificate files.
- Updated Home TLS configuration to support client certificates, keys, and dynamic server name resolution.
