Fix `clerkMiddleware()` dropping all but the last `Set-Cookie` header when Clerk sets multiple cookies in one response, such as after a handshake or a session refresh.

Assert the raw Set-Cookie boundary or use a Nitro-backed fixture.

The test reads cookies after H3’s toWebHandler adapter has split the combined value. An implementation that forwards one combined Set-Cookie string can therefore pass the test. The test does not detect whether the Nuxt-to-Nitro boundary preserved separate directives. This is a test coverage gap; it does not establish that Nitro’s production path is broken.

In `@packages/nuxt/src/runtime/server/__tests__/clerkMiddleware.test.ts` around
lines 116 - 143, Update the “preserves multiple Set-Cookie headers returned by
authenticateRequest” test to verify separate Set-Cookie directives at the
Nuxt-to-Nitro boundary, using a Nitro-backed fixture or an assertion on the raw
header representation before `toWebHandler` splits it. Keep the test focused on
detecting a single combined Set-Cookie value.
