fix: open CORS for OAuth register/authorize + correct WWW-Authenticate PRM path

Two follow-up fixes after the SDK auth migration:

1. CORS for browser-based OAuth clients (ChatGPT DCR 403)
   The global cors({ origin: false }) intercepts OPTIONS preflight for
   /oauth/register and /oauth/authorize before the SDK's own cors()
   middleware inside clientRegistrationHandler/authorizationHandler
   runs, causing the browser to reject the response with no
   Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. ChatGPT's connector makes DCR
   from the browser, so this manifested as a 403.
   Fix: extend the open-CORS pre-middleware to also cover
   /oauth/register and /oauth/authorize (same pattern as /.well-known).

2. WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata URL (RFC 9728 §5)
   The MCP handler was advertising the base PRM path
   (/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource) instead of the path-aware
   variant (/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp). RFC 9728
   requires the resource path to be appended when the resource URI has
   a path component. The SDK registers the path-aware URL; the
   WWW-Authenticate header now points to the same location.
