Add Authelia SSO to Frigate — disables its own login, not just a gate in front of it

Frigate has its own built-in login separate from Authelia's session, so
just adding `import authelia` in front of it (the pattern used for
no-built-in-auth services) would leave two independent logins stacked,
defeating the point of Authelia's "remember me" on mobile. Frigate has a
`proxy` auth mode built for exactly this — trust Remote-User/Remote-Groups
from an upstream forward_auth proxy and disable its own login entirely.

- Extend configure_caddy_for_service() with an optional 5th arg for
  sub-directives inside the reverse_proxy block itself (header_up), needed
  to pin an X-Proxy-Secret header so Frigate's proxy-auth trust can't be
  spoofed by a request reaching its published port directly, bypassing
  Caddy/Authelia. Backward compatible — every other caller is unaffected.
- services/frigate.sh: prompt to protect with Authelia when installed;
  wires import authelia + the X-Proxy-Secret header_up into Caddy, and
  only writes config.yml's auth.enabled: False + proxy block once Caddy
  actually confirms it's fronting the domain (never disables the native
  login with nothing else gating access). Reuses the secret across
  reinstalls instead of rotating it. Calls _authelia_scope_access() so
  access can be restricted to specific users instead of every Authelia
  account. Fixed a latent bug in the standalone-mode Caddy stub where the
  auth block was placed after reverse_proxy instead of before it (dead
  code — the same "Authelia never prompts" bug class CLAUDE.md documents
  for the real helper).
- CLAUDE.md: document the new configure_caddy_for_service parameter and
  Frigate's hybrid built-in-auth/forward_auth pattern.

Verified end-to-end against a local test harness (fake Authelia/Caddy
dirs): config.yml, .env, and the generated Caddyfile block all agree on
the shared secret and header names, auth is skipped cleanly when Caddy
isn't configured, and the secret is reused on a second run.
