Add comprehensive token validation to ExternalAuthVerifier

Enhance token validation in separate mode to fully comply with MCP specification:
- Validate audience (aud) claim to ensure tokens are issued for this specific MCP server
- Validate temporal claims (nbf, iat) with appropriate clock skew tolerance
- Add configurable canonical URI for audience validation
- Improve logging for validation failures

These changes prevent token passthrough attacks and ensure tokens are
properly scoped to the intended resource server, as required by the
MCP OAuth 2.0 specification.
