fix(cms): thread a per-request nonce through the admin CSP

The prod CSP emitted script-src 'strict-dynamic' with no nonce seed,
blocking every Payload admin script (A8). Reuse the shared nonce-based
withSecurityHeaders: Payload admin pages are always dynamically
rendered, so Next propagates the nonce read from the forwarded
request's CSP header onto the admin's scripts.
