Description
#419 added client cred auth support to authenticate_oidc, based on env vars like OPENEO_AUTH_METHOD, OPENEO_AUTH_CLIENT_ID, OPENEO_AUTH_PROVIDER_ID. However, these env vars are global settings, which is fine for most cases.
But how to support use cases that combine multiple back-ends with different providers (meaning different client id and client secrets)?
con1 = openeo.connect("backend1.example").authenticate_oidc()
con2 = openeo.connect("backend2.test").authenticate_oidc()
how can the be supported through env vars?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the client-credential support added in #419 and the authenticate_oidc entry point, including OPENEO_AUTH_METHOD, OPENEO_AUTH_CLIENT_ID, and OPENEO_AUTH_PROVIDER_ID. Clarify how credentials should be selected when two connections target different back-ends and providers, then define the expected behavior for the two-connection example.
