feat!: updated jwt vs session user monitoring

Made changes to the recent ENABLE_JWT_VS_SESSION_USER_CHECK
custom attributes. Although this is technically a breaking
change, skipping major release because of limited use of
these attributes.

- The jwt_auth_session_user_id attribute has been renamed to
  clarify that this attribute only appears in the case of a
  mismatch.
- Dropped jwt_auth_and_session_user_mismatch, which is
  redundant to simply checking for the existence of
  jwt_auth_mismatch_session_user_id.
- Updated annotations for jwt_auth_request_user_not_found,
  because it has proven to be a real case in Production
  and not just in testing.
