Currently, if the sudo_mode is enabled and the user tries to perform any sensitive action (e.g. change application settings), they have to enter their *local* password. However, if the user is logged in via OIDC, they typically don't know their local password (it has been autogenerated on the first login via OIDC). This commit implements an opt-in feature that replaces this local password verification with reauthentication on the OIDC provider, i.e. even if the user is still logged in, they are forced to re-enter their password (or any other kind of authentication) on the OIDC provider.
