feat(httpd): handle SIGHUP to permit hot reload oidc secret from clientSecretFile

This commit adds the ability to hot reload OIDC client secrets from file
using SIGHUP signal (Unix) or 'paramchange' service control on Windows.

Key changes:
- Add ReloadOIDC() function to reload OIDC secrets for all HTTP servers
- Add ReloadSecret() method to OIDC struct for atomic secret reload
- Integrate OIDC reload into existing signal handlers
- Thread-safe server tracking with httpServers slice and mutex
- Comprehensive test coverage for all reload scenarios

Important limitations:
⚠️  Hot reload is ONLY functional for secrets defined in clientSecretFile
⚠️  Direct clientSecret in config cannot be hot reloaded
⚠️  All HTTP servers with OIDC configuration are reloaded simultaneously

Technical details:
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing configurations
- Atomic rollback on reload failure to prevent broken state
- Validates oauth2Config type safety during secret updates
- Optimized locking strategy to minimize performance impact

Tests:
- Added comprehensive test suite covering success and failure scenarios
- 100% code coverage maintained for reload functionality
- Edge cases tested: missing files, empty secrets, type mismatches
