Sign-in for gateway/Vertex can now route through the OS identity broker instead of a browser.

A new authFlow setting for inferenceGatewayOidc and inferenceVertexWorkforceOidc (flat key inferenceGatewayOidcAuthFlow) chooses between browser and broker sign-in. The broker option routes sign-in through the OS identity broker (Windows Web Account Manager or macOS Company Portal) instead of a system browser, but requires the IdP to be Microsoft Entra ID and is not supported on Linux.
