API keys and JWTs can no longer mint further credentials

Appwrite Cloud now blocks an API key from creating another API key, and blocks a JWT from minting another JWT. Existing keys and JWTs keep working. The change stops leaked credentials from growing a hidden set of replacements.

Create long-lived API keys in the Console. The Project API can still list, update, and delete keys, and can issue ephemeral keys for short-lived access. A leaked key can no longer mint further hidden keys, which made a compromise harder to contain and revoke.

Create JWTs from a Server SDK with users.createJWT. A leaked JWT can no longer mint further JWTs and outlive its own expiry. A session cannot duplicate itself to live forever, and neither should a JWT.
