Decidim: JWT-backed authentication can be replayed across organizations

A JWT issued to an Org 1 account is accepted on the Org 2 API and can read the admin-only GraphQL participantDetails field for an Org 2 participant. The same trust-boundary problem also affects API-user authentication: an Org 1 API user can use a JWT on the Org 1 host and replay that JWT to the Org 2 API to read Org 2 participant personal data and reach Org 2's proposal.answer mutation path.

The current host selects the Decidim organization context, but JWT-backed API authentication is not sufficiently bound to
that host organization. As a result, the API can process a request in Org 2's context while still trusting an authenticated
principal from Org 1.

Reproduction steps:

1. Use an API key provided by the system administrator that is assigned to organization 1 to create the JWT token or
   get the JWT token shown in the response when logged in as the organization admin.

1. When using this JWT token it is possible to retrieve details from other organisations. Notice the change of the host header in the request below to that of another tenant org2.localhost:3001

Note that using a participant-generated JWT did not allow showing these results.

Impact

A JWT issued for one organization can be replayed successfully against another organization's API and used to retrieve sensitive details from that organization.
