Draft: Proof of concept: Web IDE oAuth flow

Enrique Alcántara requested to merge poc-web-ide-oauth-controller into master

What does this MR do and why?

This is a proof of concept to demonstrate the implementation of an OAuth-based authentication and authorization flow for the Web IDE. This proof of concept relies on creating an instance-wide OAuth application to bypass the user authorization step required by OAuth PCKE flow.

We are validating this authentication strategy as part two efforts in the Web IDE:

  • Removing mediator commands.
  • Enabling settings sync in the Web IDE.

See [Investigate] Persisting Web IDE user settings ... (#415700 - closed) for more information.
