fix(adk): resolve OAuth persistence, ID token extraction, and auth flow crashes

This PR addresses several authentication bugs within the `toolbox-adk` wrapper that were preventing successful OIDC flows, causing repeated login prompts, and crashing during tool execution.

`adk-python` natively drops the `id_token` during OAuth2 exchange (`update_credential_with_tokens`), which is strictly required by the MCP Toolbox for `USER_IDENTITY` authentication.
 #### Solution
 Added a temporary monkey patch to hook into the `adk-python` credential update process and explicitly preserve `tokens.get("id_token")`.

 > [!NOTE]
 > Tracked by `TODO`s to remove once upstream PR google/adk-python#4402 is merged.

Tools repeatedly prompted users to authenticate because the exchanged credentials were not being appropriately persisted across sessions (`exchanged_auth_credential` was left unpopulated/None).
Explicitly assigned the newly fetched user credentials to `auth_config_adk.exchanged_auth_credential` and synced them to storage using `tool_context._invocation_context.credential_service.save_credential()`.

Passing an empty list of scopes triggered an `AttributeError` deep inside the `adk-python` `auth_handler.py` due to a falsy chain evaluation on empty dictionaries.
Added default OIDC fallback scopes (`["openid", "profile", "email"]`) for `USER_IDENTITY` flows when no explicit scopes are provided.

If a tool required the same authentication service across multiple parameters, the `add_auth_token_getter` logic would attempt to register it twice, causing a `ValueError: already registered`.
Collected `needed_services` into a deduplicated `set` and added a protective check before registration (`if not hasattr(...) or s not in ...`) to ensure idempotency.

- [x] Verified that submitting empty scopes successfully defaults to `openid profile email` and resolves without crashing `adk-python`.
- [x] Verified that the `id_token` is successfully propagated bounds and retrieved via `getattr(creds.oauth2, "id_token", ...)` during tool execution.
- [x] Verified that subsequent tool executions load the saved credentials seamlessly from the `CredentialService` without triggering continuous Google OAuth consent screens.
