This fixes the oauth's client registration portion where we should treat empty client secret as invalid. The rationale is pretty much written in the code comment.

Motivation and Context

This will expand the support for more auth servers.

How Has This Been Tested?

This makes Goose work with some public IdP providers such as https://app.descope.com
