Allow selfhosted task pods to override the auth type via the _U_AUTH_TYPE environment variable. When set to "Passthrough", the SDK skips OAuth metadata fetching against the queue service endpoint, which doesn't implement AuthMetadataService and would cause cascading DEADLINE_EXCEEDED errors. This is intended for selfhosted environments where OAuth is not required, e.g. closed network deployments where task pods connect directly to internal services bypassing ingress and authentication.

qq: can we always set it to Passthrough when _U_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY is true
