feat(api): add Redis session cache to reduce Appwrite API calls by ~90%

- Add SessionCacheService with 5-minute TTL Redis cache
- Cache validated sessions to avoid redundant Appwrite calls
- Add /api/v1/auth/me endpoint for retrieving current user
- Invalidate cache on logout and password reset
- Add session_cache config to auth section (Redis db 2)
- Fix Docker Redis hostname (localhost -> redis)
- Handle timezone-aware datetime comparisons

Security: tokens hashed before use as cache keys, explicit
invalidation on logout/password change, graceful degradation
when Redis unavailable.
