fix: address PR review comments for static config merge logic

Critical Bugs:
- Fix existingIdx always-false condition causing duplicate identities
- Fix race condition in static config initialization (move useStaticConfig inside mutex)

Security & Robustness:
- Add nil identity check in VerifyActionPermission to fail closed
- Mask access keys in STS validation logs to avoid exposing credentials
- Add nil guard for s3a.iam in subscription handler

Test Improvements:
- Add authCalled tracking to MockIAMIntegration for explicit verification
- Lower log level for static config messages to reduce noise
