feat: add CSC AES/QES signing (v1 instance-wide config) (#2874)

Adds Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) integration for AES/QES signing
against a configured TSP. v1 ships as instance-wide configuration via
environment variables, with per-envelope signature level selection,
license gating, and an OAuth-driven signing flow (capture + FIFO
signers, SAD session, blocking/in-progress recipient pages).

Includes signature level compatibility checks (role, signing order,
dictate next signer), envelope mutability assertions, Prisma migration
for signature level and CSC tables, and docs for the new signing
certificate options.

### Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC)
Routes signing through a third-party Trust Service Provider for Advanced and Qualified Electronic Signatures (AES/QES). Instance-wide; set `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TRANSPORT=csc` to enable. See [CSC (AES / QES)](/docs/self-hosting/configuration/signing-certificate/csc-qes) for the full setup walkthrough.
CSC mode requires an active [Enterprise Edition](/docs/policies/enterprise-edition) license. Without a valid license, the instance will refuse to start in `csc` mode.
| Variable | Description | Default |
| ---------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_CSC_PROVIDER_BASE_URL` | Base URL of the CSC provider's API | |
| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_CSC_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` | OAuth client ID registered with the CSC provider | |
| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_CSC_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` | OAuth client secret registered with the CSC provider | |
| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_CSC_SIGNATURE_LEVEL` | Default legal tier for new envelopes when the caller doesn't specify one. `AES` or `QES`. Explicit requests pass through. | `AES` |
The OAuth callback URL registered with the CSC provider is fixed at `${NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL}/api/csc/oauth/callback` — register this exact URL with the TSP.
#### Derived Public Variables
The following client-visible variable is **derived automatically** from the private transport at server startup. Do not set it manually — any value set in the environment is overwritten on boot.
| Variable | Derived from | Value |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_SIGNING_TRANSPORT_IS_CSC` | `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TRANSPORT === 'csc'` | `'true'` when CSC mode is active, else `'false'` |
The authoring UI uses this flag to gate features that AES/QES envelopes cannot support (parallel signing, assistant role, dictate next signer). Deriving it from the private transport prevents the client-side flag from drifting from the real server-side configuration.
### Signature Options
| Variable | Description | Default |

| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TIMESTAMP_AUTHORITY` | Comma-separated timestamp authority URLs for LTV signatures | |
| `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TIMESTAMP_AUTHORITY` | Comma-separated timestamp authority URLs for LTV signatures. Optional for `local` / `gcloud-hsm` (signatures omit the timestamp when unset). **Required** when `NEXT_PRIVATE_SIGNING_TRANSPORT=csc` — the instance refuses to start without it. See [CSC (AES / QES)](/docs/self-hosting/configuration/signing-certificate/csc-qes#timestamp-authority-resolution). | |
