fix(llama-gate): name the authentication flow, as Audiobookshelf does

The gate set only authorization_flow, so authentication fell back to
Authentik's default flow and the step-up ran on top of a password prompt
instead of replacing it — a clumsy sign-in for a UI meant to be opened often.

Audiobookshelf and immich set both halves, and that is the pattern to copy for
a user-facing app:

  authentication_flow: passkey-passwordless-authentication
  authorization_flow:  passkey-stepup-authorization

Both are referenced with !Find rather than !KeyOf because they are defined in
the passkey-stepup document of this ConfigMap, and !KeyOf resolves only within
a single document.
