✨(entitlements) add Entitlements system with pluggable backends

This follows implementations in Drive, Messages and Calendars. This system allows Meet to gate some features for users depending on an authorization server. We provide 2 backends: a local one that always allows room creation, mimicking the current behaviour, and a DeployCenter backend, that fetches a "can_create" flag from a remote API. Future deployment contexts might add new backends, or reuse the API format of the DeployCenter one.

+# Deployment on Scalingo
+
+This guide explains how to deploy La Suite Meet on [Scalingo](https://scalingo.com/) using the [Suite Numérique buildpack](https://github.com/suitenumerique/buildpack).
+
+## Overview
+
+Scalingo is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that simplifies application deployment. This setup uses a custom buildpack to handle both the frontend (Vite) and backend (Django) builds, serving them through Nginx.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Scalingo account
+- Scalingo CLI installed (optional but recommended)
+- A PostgreSQL database addon
+- A Redis addon (for caching and sessions)
+
+## Step 1: Create Your App
+
+Create a new app on Scalingo using `scalingo` cli or using the [Scalingo dashboard](https://dashboard.scalingo.com/).
+
+## Step 2: Provision Addons
+
+Add the required PostgreSQL and Redis services.
+
+This will set the following environment variables automatically:
+- `SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL` - Database connection string
+- `SCALINGO_REDIS_URL` - Redis connection string
+
+## Step 3: Configure Environment Variables
+
+Set the following environment variables in your Scalingo app:
+
+### Buildpack Configuration
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/suitenumerique/buildpack#main"
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_APP_NAME="meet"
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_BACKEND_DIR="."
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_FRONTEND_DIR="src/frontend/"
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_NGINX_DIR="."
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_SCRIPT_POSTCOMPILE="bin/buildpack_postcompile.sh"
+scalingo env-set LASUITE_SCRIPT_POSTFRONTEND="bin/buildpack_postfrontend.sh"
+```
+
+### Database and Cache
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set DATABASE_URL="\$SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL"
+scalingo env-set REDIS_URL="\$SCALINGO_REDIS_URL"
+```
+
+### Django Settings
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="meet.settings"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_CONFIGURATION="Production"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_SECRET_KEY="<generate-a-secure-secret-key>"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS="my-meet-app.osc-fr1.scalingo.io"
+```
+
+### OIDC Authentication
+
+Configure your OIDC provider (e.g., Keycloak, Authentik):
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set OIDC_OP_BASE_URL="https://auth.yourdomain.com/realms/meet"
+scalingo env-set OIDC_RP_CLIENT_ID="meet-client-id"
+scalingo env-set OIDC_RP_CLIENT_SECRET="<your-client-secret>"
+scalingo env-set OIDC_RP_SIGN_ALGO="RS256"
+```
+
+### LiveKit Configuration
+
+Meet requires a LiveKit server for video conferencing:
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set LIVEKIT_API_URL="wss://livekit.yourdomain.com"
+scalingo env-set LIVEKIT_API_KEY="<your-livekit-api-key>"
+scalingo env-set LIVEKIT_API_SECRET="<your-livekit-api-secret>"
+```
+
+### Email Configuration (Optional)
+
+For email notifications see https://doc.scalingo.com/platform/app/sending-emails:
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_HOST="smtp.example.org"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_PORT="587"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_HOST_USER="<smtp-user>"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD="<smtp-password>"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_USE_TLS="True"
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_EMAIL_FROM="meet@yourdomain.com"
+```
+
+## Step 4: Deploy
+
+Deploy your application:
+
+```bash
+git push scalingo main
+```
+
+The Procfile will automatically:
+1. Build the frontend (Vite)
+2. Build the backend (Django)
+3. Run the post-compile script (cleanup)
+4. Run the post-frontend script (move assets and prepare for deployment)
+5. Start Nginx and Gunicorn
+6. Run django migrations
+
+## Step 5: Create superuser
+
+After the first deployment, create an admin user:
+
+```bash
+scalingo run python manage.py createsuperuser
+```
+
+## Custom Domain (Optional)
+
+To use a custom domain:
+
+1. Add the domain in Scalingo dashboard
+2. Update `DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS` with your custom domain
+3. Configure your DNS to point to Scalingo
+
+```bash
+scalingo domains-add meet.yourdomain.com
+scalingo env-set DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS="meet.yourdomain.com,my-meet-app.osc-fr1.scalingo.io"
+```
+
+## Custom Logo (Optional)
+
+To use a custom logo, set the `CUSTOM_LOGO_URL` environment variable with an HTTPS URL pointing to an SVG item (max 5MB):
+
+```bash
+scalingo env-set CUSTOM_LOGO_URL="https://cdn.yourdomain.com/logo.svg"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Check Logs
+
+```bash
+scalingo logs --tail
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Build fails**: Check that all required environment variables are set
+2. **Database connection error**: Verify `DATABASE_URL` is correctly set to `$SCALINGO_POSTGRESQL_URL`
+3. **Static files not served**: Ensure the buildpack post-frontend script ran successfully
+4. **OIDC errors**: Verify your OIDC provider configuration and callback URLs
+
+### Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# Open a console
+scalingo run bash
+
+# Restart the app
+scalingo restart
+
+# Scale containers
+scalingo scale web:2
+
+# One-off command
+scalingo run python manage.py shell
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+On Scalingo, the application runs as follows:
+
+1. **Build Phase**: The buildpack compiles both frontend and backend
+2. **Runtime**:
+   - Nginx serves static files and proxies to the backend
+   - Gunicorn runs the Django WSGI application
+   - Both processes are managed by the `bin/buildpack_start.sh` script
