Jamil 2959cca8ce fix(portal): use consistent wireguard psk (#10004)
Whenever a client requests a connection to gateway, we need to generate
a preshared key that will be used for the underlying WireGuard tunnel.

When the connection setup broke or otherwise was lost, _after_ the
gateway the received the authorize_flow call, but _before_ the client
could receive the response (and initiate a tunnel), we would have to
wait until an ICE timeout occurred in order to reset state on the
gateway.

This is because the psk was not used to determine if this was a _new_
flow authorization. So the old authorization would be matched, and the
client would never be able to connect, since its tunnel was using the
new psk, and the gateway the old.

To fix this, we generate a secure random 32-byte `psk_base` on each
client and gateway. When a client wishes to connect to a gateway, we
compute the WireGuard preshared key as an HMAC over these two inputs.

This fixes the issue by ensuring that subsequent flow authorization
requests from a particular client to a particular gateway will yield the
same psk.
