refactor(admin): route plugin handler auth through authorize_admin_request

The plugin/extension admin family carried seven byte-near copies of the
admin auth preamble (extract credentials, check_key_valid, read RemoteAddr
out of the extensions, call validate_admin_request). Each copy is a place
the gate can drift, which is exactly the review surface rustfs/backlog#1829
tracks.

Every one of the seven is a per-file wrapper with no resource scope and no
audit seam, so it folds onto the shared `authorize_admin_request` gate
without changing the decision. The wrappers keep their own missing-
credentials pre-check, following the pattern established in
`kms_management.rs`: the shared gate reports "get cred failed", while these
endpoints have always reported "authentication required" (six sites) and
"missing credentials" (object_data_cache), and that response must stay
byte-identical. New tests pin each message.

Action sets, `deny_only=false`, the RemoteAddr lookup, and the wrapper
signatures are unchanged, so authenticated-but-unauthorized and
wrong-credential responses are unchanged too.
