chore(backend,express): Introduce treatPendingAsSignedOut option to getAuth

[LauraBeatris]

Description

Allows passing treatPendingAsSignedOut to getAuth

// `pending` sessions will be treated as signed-out by default
const { userId } = getAuth(req)

// Both `active` and `pending` sessions will be treated as authenticated when `treatPendingAsSignedOut` is false
const { userId } = getAuth(req, { treatPendingAsSignedOut: false })
