fix(coderd): enforce required external auth on workspace create (#26314)

Required external auth (`optional = false`) was only enforced by
client-side preflight checks, so creating a workspace via the REST API
succeeded even when the owner had never authenticated, producing a
broken workspace.

`createWorkspace` now validates the workspace owner's external auth
server-side and returns 403 before any row is inserted or prebuild is
claimed. The owner (not the initiator) is checked because build-time
token injection uses their links, so this also covers admin-on-behalf-of
creates and prebuild claims. Use `optional = true` to allow
pre-provisioning for unauthenticated users.

Fixes PLAT-241.
