Pull request overview
This PR adds documentation for Mutual TLS (mTLS) as a third authentication method for Privacy Proxy, specifically designed for server-to-server communication scenarios.
Changes:
- Updated the authentication methods table to include mTLS and clarified use cases (changing Privacy Pass from "Production deployments" to "Client to server" for better parallel structure with mTLS's "Server to server")
- Added comprehensive "Mutual TLS (mTLS)" section explaining how it works, its limitations, and when to use it
