M11 W2.2: internal/grpcserver — gRPC ingestd on :9090

Delivers the M11 gRPC transport as specified in SPEC §19:

NEW FILES:
- internal/grpcserver/server.go — grpc.Server lifecycle, IngestdDeps
  interface, NewForIngestd(), graceful stop (15s drain)
- internal/grpcserver/handler.go — StreamAlerts impl (~250 lines):
  * Bearer-token auth via metadata (parseAPIKey + constant-time compare)
  * Per-stream semaphore (MaxInflight, default 256) for bounded concurrency
  * Rate-limit check BEFORE goroutine spawn (fast reject path)
  * Backpressure: sem-full → immediate RATE_LIMITED ack (retry_after_ms=5ms)
  * Batched goroutine pool: each alert runs in a goroutine,
    sends Ack to buffered channel; recv loop forwards to stream
  * Alerts converted to pipeline JSON via alertToJSON()
  * graceful stream shutdown (drain in-flight, then exit)
- internal/grpcserver/auth.go — authenticate() from gRPC metadata,
  parses Bearer <company>:<source>:<secret>, constant-time compare
- internal/grpcserver/grpcserver_test.go — table-driven unit tests:
  TestAuthenticate (valid/wrong/unknown/malformed/empty key),
  TestErrorCode, TestParseRetryAfter, TestAlertToJSON, interface check

MODIFIED:
- cmd/ingestd/main.go:
  * grpcserver import + grpcDeps adapter (implements IngestdDeps)
  * net.Listen + grpcSrv.Serve on cfg.GRPCAddr (default :9090)
  * graceful stop integrated with main select
- internal/config/config.go:
  * BA_INGESTD_GRPC_ADDR (default :9090)
  * BA_INGESTD_GRPC_MAX_INFLIGHT (default 256)
- internal/observability/metrics.go:
  * StreamsActive (gauge), GRPCInflight (histogram),
    GRPCRateLimited (counter), GRPCAckLatency (histogram, buckets:
    1/5/10/25/50/100/250/500ms) — all registered in NewIngestdMetrics
- cmd/ingestd/http.go: SourceConfig.SourceID field populated by loadSourcesFromEnv
- cmd/ingestd/ws.go: scoped SourceConfig now sets SourceID field

go build ./... : clean
go test ./...  : all pass (ingestd + all internal packages)
