Parse Server's Endpoint `/sessions/me` bypasses `_Session` `protectedFields`

Details

### Impact

The `GET /sessions/me` endpoint returns `_Session` fields that the server operator explicitly configured as protected via the `protectedFields` server option. Any authenticated user can retrieve their own session's protected fields with a single request. The equivalent `GET /sessions` and `GET /sessions/:objectId` endpoints correctly strip protected fields.

### Patches

The `GET /sessions/me` handler now re-fetches the session with the caller's auth context after validating the session token, ensuring `protectedFields` and CLP apply consistently with other session endpoints.

### Workarounds

None.
