Enhance QEMU emulator performance and configuration management
- Added optimizations to the QEMU emulator's app container startup
process, reducing startup time from ~92s to ~62s by using qcow2 backing
files and setting the working directory to /app.
- Updated the build-image.sh script to conditionally wait for background
processes, improving robustness.
- Modified the run-emulator.sh script to create the disk image using
qcow2 format instead of copying, enhancing efficiency.
- Adjusted the cloud-init user-data to set STACK_RUNTIME_WORK_DIR to
/app, streamlining file operations during container initialization.
- Improved the entrypoint script to avoid unnecessary file copying when
the working directory is set to /app.

### Context
In a [previous PR](https://github.com/stack-auth/stack-auth/pull/1258),
we hardcoded the mode to link because local emulator wasn't in a ready
state yet. Soon after, we started encountering three failing tests on
dev
The three cli tests that were failing on dev were failing because they
required the create mode flag to be set. The hardcode to link made the
create paths unreachable. Since we don't have local emulator working,
allowing users to pass in opts.mode would be bad practice- they'd be
triggering local emulator actions without the local emulator being set
up.
Also, there was a failing AI endpoint test. The unified AI endpoint
tests are set up so that if certain env variables are not present,
certain tests aren't run. In practice, if the openrouter key isn't set,
the tests that require actually processing a full AI endpoint result
without forwarding to prod will be skipped. The failing test was meant
to just check schema validation but it performed a full request instead.
### Summary of Changes
We just skip the tests for now. They'll only become relevant when
"create" is a legitimate workflow, which necessitates the function of
local emulator. There is no regression risk because the flow they're
testing isn't active yet, and so the only thing we could possibly test
is that passing the create mode will invoke a certain function which
isn't helpful at this state.
The unified AI endpoint failing test was reworked, another test
accomplishes the same schema validation effect. We don't lose coverage
by axing the failing test because other AI tests already test valid
request bodies (if they weren't valid, they wouldn't get a response).

### Summary of Changes
Previously, on the Swift SDK, the `signInWithOAuth` function wasn't
working. In this PR, we fix it by having the `getOAuthUrl` function to
actually redirect correctly. Note that to do so, we updated the
`validRedirectUrl` check on the backend to accept app native redirects
(from our new trusted url scheme). Another thing to note is that we
added functionality to the `TokenStore` abstraction to conditionally
refresh the access token that the user is trying to fetch if it is
expired/close to expiring if possible. `getOAuthUrl` will attempt to get
a valid access token, and thus will rely on our algorithm documented in
`utilities.md`.
The specs serve as the source of truth.
We go further and implement Apple Native sign in. To do so, we have it
hit a new route on the backend and verify the `jwtToken` retrieved by
the sdk against an Apple-provided set of `jwks`. We use jose to do so,
in line with the rest of the codebase.
We take this opportunity to refactor the oauth provider route owing to
the amount of duplicated logic. Additionally, to enable the apple sign
in, users will have to update the Apple authentication method modal on
the dashboard and add accepted bundle ids. These are identifiers for
projects, and we will check the `JWT` on the backend to make sure the
audience is set to an accepted bundleId.
We also update the Apple modal to be more informative.
### Using the new Features
To use the Apple native sign in, users will have to 1) sign up with an
apple developer account, 2) set up their bundleids for their projects by
connecting them to the apple developer account, 3) update the Stack-Auth
Authentication Methods dashboard apple modal with the relevant fields.
Then, trying to sign in with apple with our Swift SDK will use the apple
native sign in.
### UI Changes
Renamed the fields in the apple modal. Added a new field for bundle ids.
