feat: Support non-email user identifiers for Azure AD

Add userIdentifierClaim configuration option to support Azure AD users
without email addresses. This allows using alternative JWT claims like
"sub", "oid", "upn", or "preferred_username" for user identification.

- Default behavior uses "email" claim (backward compatible)
- Falls back to "sub" claim if configured claim is missing
- allowedUsers matches against the configured claim value
- allowedUserDomains only applies when using email-based identification

Fixes #95
