fix(oauth): pass resolved redirect_uri to token exchange (#1019)

When --redirect-url is omitted, the local callback listener binds to a
free port and opts.RedirectURL is rewritten with it. oauth2Config.RedirectURL
was never updated, so Exchange() sent the stale http://127.0.0.1:0 while
the authorize step had sent the real port. RFC-6749-compliant servers
(Gitea >= #37704, current Forgejo) reject the mismatch.

Propagate the resolved URL back into oauth2Config before Exchange. Add a
regression test using httptest that drives the flow end-to-end and asserts
the redirect_uri values match.
