fix(mitm): generate root ca on server startup (#2228)

Direct MITM server startup read rootCA.key/.crt immediately and exited
when either was missing, bypassing the manager.js CA setup path.

- generate Root CA from server.js when key/cert is missing
- make generateRootCA()/generateCert() synchronous to avoid a startup
  race before readFileSync
- add unit test covering synchronous Root CA creation
