feat: SSO group autocomplete for per-host SSO allow-lists (v1.34.0)

The per-host "Allowed groups" field suggested only local groups,
permission subjects and conf.auth maps. None of those can ever match an
SSO-gated host: its allow-list is checked against the `groups` claim the
SSO issues (utils/host_sso.js), so only SSO groups are candidates.

Adds a conf.sso block (url + read-only apiToken, minted by theta-suite's
bootstrap) and a cached /api/group lookup merged into the suggestions.
Degrades silently to the previous local-only list when unset, and never
fails the request.

Authenticates with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` -- the SSO's
`auth-token` header is for browser session UUIDs and rejects a minted
API token.
