Bobby Ho 6348c83142 feat: register public clients without a secret (#28046)
Third in the stack, split out of #27873. This is where dynamic client
registration first produces a public client.

- A registration requesting token_endpoint_auth_method `none` issues no
secret and persists the client_type derived in #28043. The response
omits client_secret entirely, per RFC 7591 §3.2.1.
- Discovery still advertises only the two secret-based methods. `none`
is withheld until the token endpoint honors it, so a conforming client
is not told to attempt an exchange that would be rejected.
- The app and its secret are written in one transaction. They were two
independent inserts, so a failed second one left a committed app that
could never authenticate while still holding a registration access
token. Pre-existing, but a public client's missing secret row makes the
orphaned case unspottable by inspection.
- registration_client_uri uses url.JoinPath, fixing a trailing-slash
access URL producing //oauth2/clients/{id}.
- Docs state both limits above, so the page does not describe a flow
that returns 400 until #28047 lands.

A client registered here cannot obtain a token yet; #28047 adds that.
Dynamic client registration is off by default, so none of this is
user-visible until then.
