feat(bootstrap): implement mTLS for Vault access

- Add create_vault_config() function to generate config.hcl with mTLS settings
- Configure Vault to require client certificate verification
- Generate client certificate for botserver in bootstrap
- Update .env to include mTLS paths (VAULT_CACERT, VAULT_CLIENT_CERT, VAULT_CLIENT_KEY)
- Remove unused import in tls.rs
