docs(auth): document 7-day session authentication with constants

- Add comprehensive authentication overview.md explaining:
  - 7-day session duration for JWT and refresh tokens
  - Constants-based implementation (no hardcoded values)
  - Complete authentication flow (register/login/refresh/logout)
  - Session expiration handling (HTML redirect vs JSON error)
  - Security features (HTTP-only cookies, token rotation)
  - Token storage recommendations
- Update login.md with 7-day expires_in field and cookie MaxAge
- Update register.md with 7-day session duration details
- Update refresh_token.md with expires_in: 604800

Documentation provides complete reference for authentication
endpoints with examples and security considerations.
