Faur Ioan-Aurel 83fd4cf5c2 fix: OAuth2 cancel button in the authorization page not working (#24058)
Go's html/template has a built-in security filter (urlFilter) that only
allows http, https, and mailto URL schemes. Any other scheme gets
replaced with #ZgotmplZ.

The OAuth2 app's callback URL uses custom URI scheme which the filter
considers unsafe. For example the Coder JetBrains plugin exposes a
callback URI with the scheme jetbrains:// - which was effectively
changed by the template engine into #ZgotmplZ. Of course this is not an
actual callback. When users clicked the cancel button nothing happened.

The fix was simple - we now wrap the apps registered callback URI into
htmltemplate.URL. Usually this needs some validation otherwise the
linter will complain about it. The callback URI used by the Cancel logic
is actually validated by our backend when the client app
programmatically registered via the dynamic OAuth2 registration
endpoints, so we refactored the validation around that code and re-used
some of it in the Cancel handling to make sure we don't allow URIs like
`javascript` and `data`, even though in theory these URIs were already
validated.

In addition, while testing this PR with
https://github.com/coder/coder-jetbrains-toolbox/pull/209 I discovered
that we are also not compliant with
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.1.2.1 which requires
the server to attach the local state if it was provided by the client in
the original request. Also it is optional but generally a good practice
to include `error_description` in the error responses. In fact we follow
this pattern for the other types of error responses. So this is not a
one off.

- resolves #20323
