test: add forceFreshLoginPerTest opt-in flag to AuthenticatedUITestCase

Default is `false` (current session-reuse behaviour) so tests reuse the
existing logged-in session — fast, and resilient to suites where the
current screen lacks a logout affordance (`UITestHelpers.ensureLoggedOut`
times out → tests fail before their bodies run).

Override to `true` in suites that observe transient `Invalid token` 401s
on POST/PATCH while reads continue to work. Recipe added after a 2026-05
incident where the API container was rebuilt mid-suite and in-memory
JWT tokens went stale; the diagnostic value is having an explicit lever
to reach for next time, not flipping the default.

Net effect on a clean simulator + stable API: 244/253 → 244/253 (no
behaviour change in the default path).
