feat: multiple consistency levels for authz checks (#832)

So far frontier was either using no consistency level from spicedb
which defaults to prioritise minimum latency with minimal consistent
results as well. Other was fully consistent calls which provide the
most accurate authz resolution but takes substential latency hit.
A middle ground is introduced now that caches the zookie generated
during the last fully consistent check and uses that in all but
Check calls. This should speed up Lookup/List calls for authz.

Existing config `fully_consistent` is now deprecated in favor of
new consistency level.
```
spicedb:
  # consistency ensures Authz server consistency guarantees for various operations
  # Possible values are:
  # - "full": Guarantees that the data is always fresh although API calls might be slower than usual
  # - "best_effort": Guarantees that the data is the best effort fresh [default]
  # - "minimize_latency": Tries to prioritise minimal latency
  consistency: "best_effort"
```
