Koichi ITO 8ad80dd0b4 Let a provider add parameters to the token requests it makes
## Motivation and Context

`ClientCredentialsProvider` builds a fixed `client_credentials` token request: `grant_type`, `scope`,
`resource`, and the client authentication that `Flow#post_to_token_endpoint` adds. An authorization server
that requires further parameters, such as Auth0's `audience`, cannot be used through `oauth:` at all,
and giving up `oauth:` also gives up the bearer header and the 401-driven retry that the transport provides.

RFC 6749 Section 8.2 allows extension parameters on the token request, and the TypeScript SDK lets
a provider shape its token request through `prepareTokenRequest`. `ClientCredentialsProvider.new` now takes
`token_request_params:`, a Hash of String keys and values added to every token request the provider makes,
and `Flow#post_to_token_endpoint` reads the same name by duck typing, so a `Provider` or `CrossAppAccessProvider`
subclass that defines the method gets the same treatment on its authorization code exchange, refresh,
or `jwt-bearer` request.
`Provider.new` and `CrossAppAccessProvider.new` take the same keyword, held by `StorageBackedProvider` like
`authorization_request_validator`, so every bundled provider refuses a bad value before anything is stored.

The parameters go underneath the flow's own, so the SDK's values always win, and a key the SDK sets itself
(`Flow::RESERVED_TOKEN_REQUEST_PARAMS`) is refused rather than silently overridden: with `ArgumentError`
from the constructor, before any `client_information` is written, and again with `ArgumentError` from the flow,
before the token request is sent. Only Strings are accepted because `URI.encode_www_form` encodes other scalars
and Arrays in ways the caller did not write, and the provider keeps a frozen copy so a later change to
the caller's Hash cannot alter what is sent.
A Hash comparing keys by identity is refused too, since two equal keys are two entries there, sent twice
by a provider method or silently collapsed into one by the copy. The flow raises `ArgumentError` rather than
`AuthorizationError` because `MCP::Client::HTTP` treats a failed refresh as a reason to run the interactive flow,
which would then fail the same way after the user signed in.
Both refusals raise `Flow::InvalidTokenRequestParamsError`, a subclass of `ArgumentError`, so a caller can tell them
from an unknown keyword, and the copy duplicates keys as well as values, since `Hash` copies only keys
whose class is exactly `String`.

Fixes #554.

## How Has This Been Tested?

New tests cover every token request the parameters can ride (the `client_credentials` grant under
all three client authentication methods, the authorization code exchange, refresh, and `jwt-bearer`),
both refusal boundaries (the constructors of all three providers, and the flow for a provider defining the method),
and the transport surfacing a refused hook from a refresh attempt without starting the interactive flow.
All of them fail against the previous library.

## Breaking Changes

None. The keyword is optional and the hook is opt-in; a provider that does not define `token_request_params` sends
the same requests as before.
