Bobby Ho 209d1ca498 fix: reject PKCE code_verifier below RFC 7636 length floor (#28003)
The token endpoint accepted any non-empty `code_verifier`, so a
one-character verifier was enough to authenticate. RFC 7636 §4.1
requires 43 to 128 characters from the unreserved set.

That fix plus the related gaps review surfaced in the same path:

- Enforce the length and charset floor on the verifier before the S256
comparison runs.
- Validate the challenge at the authorize endpoint too. It was only
checked for non-emptiness, so a malformed challenge was stored and then
failed late at token exchange, blaming the wrong parameter.
- A malformed verifier now returns `invalid_request` (RFC 6749 §5.2); a
well-formed but wrong one still returns `invalid_grant` (RFC 7636 §4.6).
Both looked identical before, so a client had no way to tell a syntax
error from a hash mismatch and would retry the same bad verifier
forever.
- Revoke the authorization code when a PKCE check fails. Without that, a
leaked code could be replayed with unlimited verifier guesses for its
remaining lifetime, and RFC 6749 §10.5 requires codes to be single use.
- Fix verifier generation in `scripts/oauth2/*.sh` and the docs example.
They deleted reserved base64 characters instead of translating them to
the URL-safe alphabet, so most runs produced verifiers under the new
floor.

Also carries #28041, which merged into this branch: public clients may
register bare custom schemes such as `vscode://` again, with `mailto`,
`tel`, and `sms` rejected.

Split out of #27873 (public OAuth2 client support). PKCE is already
mandatory for every client, so this stands on its own.

<summary>Manual verification</summary>

Ran against a local dev server on this branch, using a session token and
a throwaway app from `scripts/oauth2/setup-test-app.sh`.

1. Happy path unchanged: HTTP 200, verifier length 43.
2. `code_verifier=short`, and a 43-character verifier ending in `!`:
both HTTP 400 `invalid_request`, so charset is enforced and not just
length.
3. `code_challenge=tooshort` at authorize: HTTP 400 `invalid_request`,
no code issued. An empty challenge still hits the older "required and
cannot be empty" message.
4. Well-formed but wrong verifier: HTTP 400 `invalid_grant`, distinct
from the cases above.
5. Retrying that same code with the correct verifier: HTTP 400, code
already revoked by the failed check.
6. `generate-pkce.sh` produces a 43-character verifier (20 out of 20
runs); the docs example produces 128.
7. `scripts/oauth2/test-mcp-oauth2.sh` passes end to end. The two
bearer-token failures in its output are a pre-existing script bug
(`09c50559f3`, July 2025) that reuses a resource-scoped token against
the real API, not a regression here.
