feat(kms): AppRole login with background token renewal and fail-closed expiry (#5487)

* feat(kms): add AppRole configuration surface for Vault auth

Extend VaultAuthMethod::AppRole with secret_id_file (re-read on every
login so external rotation is picked up), a configurable auth mount
(default "approle"), and an optional fail-closed safety window. All new
fields are serde(default) so previously persisted configurations keep
deserializing, and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts them
as optional.

Environment selection: setting RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID switches
both Vault backends to AppRole; the secret_id comes from
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID_FILE (path stored, file wins) or
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID, following the static secret-key file
precedent. validate() rejects AppRole configs without a role_id, without
any secret_id source, or with an empty mount.

Also append the CredentialsUnavailable error variant used by the
fail-closed credential gate.

* feat(kms): implement AppRole login with background renewal and fail-closed expiry

Implement the AppRoleLogin token source (vaultrs approle login +
renew-self) and wire lease-bound credentials through the provider:

- Each successful login/renewal installs a new client generation in the
  ArcSwap; in-flight requests finish on the generation they captured.
- A background renewal task refreshes at half the lease TTL: renewable
  tokens are renewed in place, everything else (or a failed renewal)
  falls back to a fresh login. Auth exchanges run under the typed retry
  policy (OpClass::Auth) and failed cycles retry on a fixed cadence, so
  the provider recovers once Vault does.
- Fail-closed: current() refuses to hand out a token inside the
  configured safety window of its expiry (default: one attempt timeout),
  returning CredentialsUnavailable instead of sending a request whose
  token may lapse mid-flight.
- Refreshes are single-flight: concurrent triggers for the same
  generation coalesce into one login.
- The renewal task's owner handle lives on the KMS service version:
  stop() shuts it down explicitly and reconfigure recycles it via
  cancel-on-drop when the old version is discarded.
- The secret_id file is re-read on every login attempt; missing or empty
  files fail the attempt without contacting Vault. Crate-owned copies of
  tokens and secret_ids are zeroized on drop, and Debug output of every
  credential-carrying type stays redacted (leak regression tests).

The renewal machinery is covered by paused-clock tests driving a
scripted token source: renew-at-half-TTL timing, login fallback,
fail-closed window entry and recovery, prompt task recycling, and
coalesced concurrent refreshes.

* feat(kms): add Vault Agent token file authentication

Add the TokenFile source: the token is read from an agent-managed sink
file (RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN_FILE or the TokenFile auth config) and
re-read once per poll interval (default 30s) through the existing
renewal loop, so a token rotated by the agent installs a new client
generation within one poll of the atomic replace. Each successful read
extends the token's observed validity to twice the poll interval; a
file that disappears or turns empty keeps failing the refresh until the
fail-closed window trips, and heals the provider as soon as it is
restored.

Reads are strict and never contact Vault on failure: the file must be
non-empty after trimming, and on Unix group/other permission bits are a
hard error (mirroring the SFTP host-key rule). Rotation detection uses
a content digest; the token itself is never stored on the source and
the crate-owned copy is zeroized.

Configuring the token file together with AppRole or an explicit static
token is rejected as a configuration error. All new config fields are
serde(default) and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts the
new variant.

Covered by paused-clock tests (atomic replacement installs a new
generation next cycle, deletion fails closed and recovers, prompt task
recycling) plus negatives for missing/empty/over-permissive files and a
Debug leak regression.

* docs(kms): add Vault authentication and credential lifecycle runbook

Cover choosing between static token, AppRole, and Vault Agent token
file auth; AppRole role setup with SecretID delivery and rotation;
Agent sink deployment with the permission requirements; and the
fail-closed window semantics with a troubleshooting table keyed on the
renewal task's log lines.

RustFS ships several KMS backends. They differ not only in deployment effort but in **where master key material lives and who can read it**. Pick a backend based on the confidentiality boundary you need, not on the name alone.
For how the Vault backends authenticate (static token, AppRole, Vault Agent token file) and how credential refresh and the fail-closed window behave, see the [Vault KMS authentication runbook](vault-kms-authentication.md).
## Backend comparison
