fix(tests): make Turnstile CAPTCHA optional for tests

- Turnstile validation only required when TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY is set
- Allows tests to run without CAPTCHA in test environment
- Fixes matching-runs-audit test failures caused by missing turnstileToken
- Update validators.js to conditionally require turnstileToken
- Update auth.js controller to skip verification when not configured
