shankar0123 d3bf2cc0cf vault, digicert: migrate Token / APIKey to *secret.Ref (Bundle I Phase 3)
Closes Top-10 fix #2 of the 2026-05-03 issuer-coverage audit (see
cowork/issuer-coverage-audit-2026-05-03/RESULTS.md). Pre-fix,
vault.Config.Token and digicert.Config.APIKey were plain string
fields. Practical impact:

  1. GET /api/v1/issuers responses marshalled the credential into
     the JSON body. An acquirer's procurement engineer running
     'curl /api/v1/issuers | jq' saw the token / API key in plain
     text on screen.
  2. DEBUG-level HTTP request logging printed the credential
     header verbatim.
  3. A heap dump of the running server contained the credential
     as readable bytes for the lifetime of the process.

Bundle I from the 2026-05-01 audit closed this for AWSACMPCA,
EJBCA, GlobalSign, Sectigo (Phase 1+2). Vault and DigiCert were
left out. This commit ports the same migration onto them.

Mechanics:
  - Config.Token / Config.APIKey type changed from 'string' to
    '*secret.Ref'. UnmarshalJSON of a JSON string populates the
    Ref via NewRefFromString — operator config files are
    unchanged.
  - Every header-write call site routed through Ref.Use, with the
    byte buffer zeroed after the callback returns. Vault: 3 sites
    (IssueCertificate, RevokeCertificate, GetCACertPEM). DigiCert:
    5 sites (ValidateConfig, IssueCertificate, RevokeCertificate,
    pollOrderOnce, downloadCertificate).
  - ValidateConfig nil-checks switch from 'cfg.Token == ""' to
    'cfg.Token.IsEmpty()' (mirrors Sectigo's existing pattern).
  - Tests migrated: every Config{Token:"..."} →
    Config{Token: secret.NewRefFromString("...")}. The
    'json.Marshal(config) → ValidateConfig(rawConfig)' round-trip
    pattern in DigiCert's ValidateConfig_Success test is now
    broken by the redact-on-marshal contract — switched that one
    to construct the rawConfig as a JSON literal (mirrors
    Sectigo's existing test pattern).
  - Two new tests pin the redact-on-marshal contract:
      - TestVault_Config_TokenMarshalsAsRedacted (vault_redact_test.go)
      - TestDigiCert_Config_APIKeyMarshalsAsRedacted (digicert_redact_test.go)
    Both assert the marshaled JSON contains '"[redacted]"' and
    does NOT contain the plaintext bytes.

Operator-visible: GET /api/v1/issuers responses for type=vault
and type=digicert now show the credential as '[redacted]'.
Existing config files keep working — the Ref unmarshal accepts
strings.
