Description
Description 📓
Currently, there is no clean way to use popup login with Google provider. User should be able to simply provide an option and next-auth should take care of opening up a popup window to complete the authentication instead of redirecting to the provider's page.
How to reproduce ☕️
Create a simple auth page with Google provider.

Research direction
Start with a simple auth page configured with the Google provider and trace the current redirect-based login flow. Identify the existing sign-in entry point and determine how an option could select popup authentication; done means the popup completes Google authentication without redirecting to the provider page.
