zeekay 5ae17289d2 mpcd: gate embedded threshold dispatcher with bearer-token + loopback bind
Red round 5 finding B1. The embedded dispatcher on --threshold-listen
was an anonymous local signing oracle:

  1. Any process on the host could POST `{"method":"frost.sign",...}`
     and obtain signatures with no auth gate (only the API on :9800
     enforced MPC_INTERNAL_API_KEY).
  2. An operator typo `MPC_THRESHOLD_LISTEN=0.0.0.0:7300` exposed it
     cluster-wide.
  3. Any SSRF inside mpcd pivoted into the dispatcher.

Fix mirrors the existing internal-API auth pattern (cmd/mpcd/main.go
line ~456):

  - Auth token: read MPC_THRESHOLD_AUTH_TOKEN; if unset, derive a
    deterministic per-cluster token from the node Ed25519 seed
    (SHA-256(seed || "mpc-threshold-rpc") hex). All nodes share the
    same key without extra config; log warns when derivation is used.
    Server.SetAuthToken installs the gate.
  - Loopback bind: refuse non-loopback addr unless
    MPC_THRESHOLD_ALLOW_REMOTE=1 — operators must explicitly
    acknowledge the exposure. Bare `:port` (= 0.0.0.0) is NOT loopback.

Also picks up luxfi/threshold v1.6.10 which removes the pulsar/corona
in-memory-token surface (Red HIGH B2) — pulsar.*/corona.* now return a
typed "not yet implemented" error.

Tests:
  - TestIsThresholdLoopback locks the loopback predicate (8 cases:
    127.0.0.1, [::1], localhost OK; 0.0.0.0, :port, RFC1918 refused).
  - TestEmbeddedDispatcher_AuthGate proves 401 on missing/wrong token,
    200 on valid token through the dispatcher mpcd installs.

4 tests pass in cmd/mpcd (was 2, +2).
