Bobby Ho 663f41ffa9 feat: derive OAuth2 client type from token_endpoint_auth_method (#28043)
Adds an OAuth2 client type (public vs confidential, RFC 7591 §2) derived
from the requested auth method instead of hardcoded confidential. The
type is stored and guarded here, but no endpoint enforces on it yet;
public behavior at the token endpoint follows in the next PR in the
stack.

- Client type is derived once and reused by both registration and
redirect URI validation, so they can't disagree
- IsPublic() fails closed: an unrecognized or missing value reads as
confidential
- RFC 7592 update (PUT) now rejects moving a client between public and
confidential (400) instead of silently flipping it when the auth method
is omitted
- Discovery still doesn't advertise "none"; follows once the token
endpoint honors it

### Behavior by client shape

`client_type` is derived from `token_endpoint_auth_method` at POST and
pinned at PUT. RFC 7592 GET/PUT authenticate with the registration
access token, not the client secret, so neither endpoint reads a secret.

| Registered with | Stored `client_type` / method | GET reports | PUT
that flips the method |

|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| omitted, or `client_secret_basic` | `confidential` /
`client_secret_basic` | `client_secret_basic` | `none` → 400
`invalid_client_metadata` |
| `none` (new) | `public` / `none` | `none` | `client_secret_*` → 400
`invalid_client_metadata` |
| `none` (before this PR) | `confidential` / `none` | `none` | either →
200, type stays `confidential` |

- PUT still replaces every other RFC 7591 field. `client_type` is the
only pinned one; the method may move within a type
(`client_secret_basic` ↔ `client_secret_post`).
- Row 3 is the only shape where the two columns disagree. The guard
fires only on a method change that crosses the type line, so those
clients keep managing themselves instead of being locked out of their
own configuration endpoint.
- The token endpoint does not consult `client_type` yet, so every client
still authenticates with a secret and registration still issues one.

Split out of #27873, second in the stack (on top of #28041).
