fix(auth): trust public-routable external-IdP origins at SSO registration (ADR-0024 / cloud#551)

@better-auth/sso's discovery validation requires every IdP endpoint origin to
be in trustedOrigins — even for a publicly-routable IdP — so registering any
external IdP returned 400 discovery_untrusted_origin unless pre-listed in boot
config, breaking ADR-0024's runtime self-service promise.

When the SSO RP is enabled, expose trustedOrigins as a per-request function
that, for POST /sso/register|/sso/update-provider, additionally trusts the
PUBLIC-ROUTABLE issuer/oidcConfig endpoint origins from the request body
(@better-auth/core isPublicRoutableHost). Private/internal/loopback hosts are
never auto-trusted; better-auth's DNS-resolution checks still apply.

Verified E2E: a same-origin public IdP (GitLab.com) now registers at runtime
with no boot config (was 400); the admin gate still fires before discovery.

+Auth: trust public-routable external-IdP origins at SSO registration (ADR-0024 / cloud#551)
+
+`@better-auth/sso`'s discovery validation requires every IdP endpoint origin to be in `trustedOrigins` — even for a publicly-routable IdP. That broke ADR-0024's "register your OIDC IdP at runtime, no boot config" promise: registering any external IdP returned `400 discovery_untrusted_origin` unless the operator had pre-listed it.
+
+When the external-SSO RP is enabled, `trustedOrigins` is now exposed as a per-request function that, for a `POST /sso/register` | `/sso/update-provider`, additionally trusts the **public-routable** issuer / `oidcConfig` endpoint origins declared in the request body (via `@better-auth/core`'s own `isPublicRoutableHost`). Private / internal / loopback hosts are never auto-trusted — they still require explicit `trustedOrigins` config (the documented SSRF escape hatch), and better-auth's own DNS-resolution checks still apply.
+
+Verified: a same-origin public IdP (GitLab.com — issuer and all discovered endpoints on one origin, like Okta / Entra / Auth0 / Keycloak) now registers at runtime with no boot config (was a hard 400). The admin gate still fires first (a non-admin is rejected before discovery runs). Note: IdPs that split endpoints across multiple domains (e.g. Google's `accounts.google.com` + `oauth2.googleapis.com`) still need those extra origins in `trustedOrigins`.
