feat(posthog_client): support feature flag secure API (#12201)

## Problem

Part of #11813 

PostHog has two endpoints to retrieve feature flags: the old project ID
one that uses personal API token, and the new one using a special
feature flag secure token that can only retrieve feature flag. The new
API I added in this patch is not documented in the PostHog API doc but
it's used in their Python SDK.

## Summary of changes

Add support for "feature flag secure token API". The API has no way of
providing a project ID so we verify if the retrieved spec is consistent
with the project ID specified by comparing the `team_id` field.
