♻️(backend) use a dedicated auth scheme for LiveKit token auth

We now use `Authorization: Bearer <token>` to authenticate users
from the token exchange flow (used for iframe embeds).

Until now, the `Bearer` scheme was also reused for the alternative
LiveKit authentication, where a client presents its LiveKit token
issued by the backend to prove room membership on actions open to
any room participant. Sharing the scheme between the two flows is
not viable anymore.

Switch the LiveKit token authentication to a dedicated
`Authorization` scheme, so `Bearer` stays reserved for the iframe /
token-exchange flow.

Follow-up: a broader effort should look into harmonizing and
hardening the backend authentication stack of the app.
