OAuth 2.0 authorization and token exchange
Implement RFC 7636 (PKCE) in ocaml-oauth
The dune-project claimed PKCE support but no implementation existed.
Add code_verifier generation, S256/Plain code_challenge computation,
and integrate into authorization_url and exchange_form_body via
optional parameters. Verified against RFC 7636 Appendix B test vector.
New API: generate_code_verifier, code_challenge, challenge_method type.
Updated: authorization_url and exchange_form_body now accept unit arg
with optional PKCE params. All downstream callers in ocaml-auth updated.
10 unit tests + 2 fuzz tests added. Dependencies: digestif, base64.
