Description

With the default OIDC client and default OIDC provider feature in the openEO API itself and the default backend feature from config files (#187), the AuthConfig system (that predates these features) lost most of it's importance.

Can we scale it down again and simplify the related documentation?

Research direction

Start by reading the AuthConfig implementation and its related documentation, then review issue #187 for context on the default OIDC client, provider, and backend configuration features. Identify which AuthConfig behavior and documentation are now unnecessary; done means a reduced AuthConfig surface and updated documentation without breaking supported configuration paths.
