auth/backends: Simplify and improve OIDC authentication

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D2876-source into generated-differential-D2876-target

While working on #2267 (closed), I noticed a couple of improvements could be added to the OIDC auth backend implementation:

  • there is no need to query the userinfo endpoint of the OIDC server when authenticating as those information can also be found in the decoded access token

  • use a more reliable access token expiration date (use exp timestamp in decoded token)

  • check groups claim is present in decoded token before trying to read it

Migrated from D2876 (view on Phabricator)
