Allows users to use an external OIDP identity provider for logging into the admin interface. For users logged in via OIDC, a random secure password is generated and a new option to reveal the password is shown in the web interface for use with subsonic clients.

Motivation
Passwords are old-school, and many people who are into self-hosting their software already have a centralized identity server for SSO. By offloading authentication to a separate service, we immediately gain support for 2FA, password reset flows, passkey support, identity federation, and whatever else your identity provider of choice offers.
This PR goes a bit beyond the minimal possible OIDC support, but in exchange it gets to a state where all the existing behavior can still be used without disruption when opting for OIDC.
In particular:
password,oidcandoidc-forwardauthentication methods. By default,passwordis selected and the gonic behavior is exactly as it was before this PR.subclaim.oidcandoidc-forwardcorrespond to the two popular choices of deploying OIDC: one is that the app natively supports OIDC and redirects users to the identity provider itself, the other is that something external to the app (like oauth2-proxy) is handling the whole login and just forwards the obtained token which the app then reads. Which one is preferred depends heavily on the other software in use, and in the end they share 95% of the same code, so I just added support for both.rolesclaim in the token), but works for an initial implementation.AI disclaimer
I'm not a Go developer, so most of the actual code was written by Claude. I did however work professionally on implementing OIDC support for various products, and looked over all the generated code to verify it's correct to the best of my ability.
