doc: Clarify OAuth validator authn_id logging Document that OAuth validators can return an authenticated identity in the authn_id member. The server records the identity value before checking if the connection is authorized, so it may appear in connection-authentication logs (even if the connection later fails authorization). Also remove outdated wording saying that all result parameters are ignored when a validator returns false since validators may provide error_detail. Patch by Chao Li with some additional wordsmithing by me.
