Mish Ushakov 78c200afc8 feat(sdk): allow disabling client-side API key validation (#1360 )

## Summary

Allow disabling client-side API key **format** validation. Previously
the SDKs hard-required keys to match the `e2b_<hex>` pattern, which
blocked deployments that issue API keys with a different format. Instead
of a custom-prefix override, this adds a simple on/off toggle.

The default behaviour is unchanged (validation stays **on**).

## Configuration

| Form | JS | Python |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Env var | `E2B_VALIDATE_API_KEY=false` | `E2B_VALIDATE_API_KEY=false`
|
| Connection option | `validateApiKey: false` | `validate_api_key=False`
|

The connection option takes priority over the environment variable.

## Usage

**JavaScript / TypeScript**

```ts
import { Sandbox } from 'e2b'

// Via connection option
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  apiKey: 'custom_key_format',
  validateApiKey: false,
})

// Or via env var: E2B_VALIDATE_API_KEY=false
```

**Python**

```python
from e2b import Sandbox

# Via connection option
sandbox = Sandbox(
    api_key="custom_key_format",
    validate_api_key=False,
)

# Or via env var: E2B_VALIDATE_API_KEY=false
```

Allow disabling client-side API key format validation. Set the E2B_VALIDATE_API_KEY environment variable to false, or pass the validateApiKey: false (JS) / validate_api_key=False (Python) connection option, when your deployment issues API keys that don't match the default e2b_ format.
