feat: add support for specifying allowed OIDC JWT signing algorithms (#2753) (#2851)

* feat: add support for specifying allowed OIDC JWT signing algorithms (#2753) TODO: - [X] update docs - [X] add support in yaml (modern) config - [X] add more test(s)? Add (legacy for now) configuration flag "oidc-enabled-signing-alg" (cfg: oidc_enabled_signing_algs) that allows setting what signing algorithms are specified by provider in JWT header ("alg" header claim). In particular useful when skip_oidc_discovery = true, as verifier defaults to only accept "RS256" in alg field in such circumstances.
