## Why
Plugin-install preflight and the actual OAuth login flow used different
discovery implementations. Preflight had a Codex-specific implementation
that only queried authorization-server metadata on the MCP host, while
login already used the upstream `rmcp` Rust MCP SDK. As a result,
servers that advertise a separate authorization server through RFC 9728
Protected Resource Metadata were classified as OAuth-unsupported during
plugin installation, so login was skipped.
## What changed
- delegate plugin-install OAuth discovery to
`rmcp::transport::AuthorizationManager`, the same implementation used by
the login flow
- let `rmcp` follow Protected Resource Metadata first and perform direct
RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery when protected-resource
discovery does not yield usable metadata
- retain Codex's existing HTTP headers, timeout, `no_proxy` behavior,
and scope normalization around that discovery
- add unit coverage and a pure-MCP plugin-install integration test that
proves the protected-resource path reaches OAuth client registration
This only changes shared MCP OAuth discovery. App declarations and
`appsNeedingAuth` behavior are unchanged.
## Verification
- `just test -p codex-rmcp-client auth_status`
- `just test -p codex-app-server plugin_install_starts_mcp_oauth`
- real plugin-install smoke test with an isolated `CODEX_HOME`: both
DigitalOcean MCP servers started OAuth callback listeners, while Linear
continued to start its existing direct-discovery OAuth flow
