globalsign,entrust: cache mTLS keypair with mtime-based reload

Closes the #10 acquisition-readiness blocker from the 2026-05-01 issuer
coverage audit. Pre-fix, GlobalSign reloaded the mTLS cert/key from
disk on every API call (globalsign.go::getHTTPClient) and Entrust
loaded once in ValidateConfig with no rotation handling — both shapes
were broken for different reasons. Per-call disk reads under a 100-
cert renewal sweep meant 200 file opens / parses / tls.X509KeyPair
calls in flight, each adding 5–50ms of latency for nothing; the
single-load Entrust shape served stale credentials forever after a
cert rotation, requiring a process restart.

This commit:

- Adds a new shared package internal/connector/issuer/mtlscache/
  with a Cache type holding a parsed tls.Certificate plus a
  precomputed *http.Transport. RWMutex serialises reloads; reads
  are lock-free in the hot path (read lock briefly held to copy
  out the *http.Client pointer, then released — the HTTP request
  itself happens with no lock held, per the audit prompt's anti-
  pattern about holding the write lock across an API call).

- RefreshIfStale stats the cert file; if mtime advanced beyond
  the last load, the keypair is re-parsed and the transport is
  rebuilt. The fast path (mtime unchanged) takes the read lock
  for the comparison and returns immediately. Double-checked-lock
  pattern (read lock → stat → release → write lock → re-stat)
  prevents two callers who observed the same stale mtime from
  both reloading.

- Options.TLSConfigBuilder lets the caller customise the *tls.Config
  built around the parsed leaf certificate. GlobalSign uses this
  to inject the ServerCAPath-pinning RootCAs pool that
  buildServerTLSConfig already produces; entrust uses the default
  builder.

- New() performs the initial load so a broken cert path fails
  fast at construction rather than at first API call.

- GlobalSign.Connector gains an mtls field. getHTTPClient now:
  (1) preserves the test-mode short-circuit when httpClient has
      a non-nil Transport;
  (2) preserves the bare-default-client short-circuit when cert
      paths aren't configured;
  (3) lazy-builds the cache on the first call so the constructor
      stays cheap;
  (4) calls RefreshIfStale on every subsequent call.
  The error wrap preserves the substring "client certificate" so
  existing TestGlobalsign_GetHTTPClient_MTLSPathConfigured_LoadsKeyPair
  keeps its assertion.

- Entrust.Connector gains an mtls field plus a new getHTTPClient
  helper mirroring GlobalSign's shape. The three IssueCertificate /
  RevokeCertificate / pollEnrollmentOnce sites that previously hit
  c.httpClient.Do(req) directly now route through getHTTPClient,
  which falls through to the test-injected client (same logic as
  GlobalSign) and otherwise serves the cached mTLS client. The
  legacy ValidateConfig flow that pre-built c.httpClient with its
  own transport stays intact — its transport wins because
  getHTTPClient short-circuits when c.httpClient.Transport != nil.

- Tests at internal/connector/issuer/mtlscache/cache_test.go cover:
  * fail-fast on missing paths (constructor input validation)
  * load on construction (positive + negative)
  * NoReloadWhenMtimeStable — 100 RefreshIfStale calls, LoadedAt
    must stay equal to the constructor's stamp (the load-bearing
    regression guard against per-call disk reads)
  * ReloadsOnMtimeAdvance — os.Chtimes forward, next refresh
    must observe the new LoadedAt (the load-bearing regression
    guard for rotation-without-process-restart)
  * StatErrorBubbles — missing cert file surfaces as an error
    rather than silently serving stale credentials
  * ConcurrentNoRace — 100 goroutines × 50 iterations under
    -race; no race detected, all calls succeed
  * TLSConfigBuilderUsed — custom builder is invoked at New AND
    on reload; verifies MinVersion=TLS1.3 takes effect
  * ClientHonoursTimeout — Options.HTTPTimeout reaches the
    constructed *http.Client

- docs/connectors.md GlobalSign + Entrust sections each gain an
  "mTLS keypair caching (audit fix #10)" paragraph documenting the
  steady-state caching, mtime-based rotation contract, and
  operator workflow (mv -f new.crt /etc/certctl/.../client.crt).

Acquirer impact: removes the per-call disk-read latency floor and
makes operator-driven cert rotation a no-restart event. Combined
with audit fix #9's bounded scheduler concurrency, the renewal
sweep's hot path now has predictable steady-state cost: capN
concurrent goroutines, each reusing the cached keypair, no per-
call file I/O.

Verified locally:
- gofmt -l . clean
- go vet ./... clean
