OAuth Support without --link

[kaaax0815]

Please provide a way to login with e.g. Github like in your Cloud Program, but without using the Cloud Program. A list of ways to do it ourself is I think good too

We don't have any plans on adding additional authentication methods so we recommend using an external oauth proxy.

We mention that briefly here: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/v3.8.0/doc/FAQ.md#how-should-i-expose-code-server-to-the-internet

But I think we might be able to reword this section to make it more discoverable, maybe something like "authentication methods"?

So I would Listen white Caddy on Port 80,443 then Pass that SSL Encrypted to the OAuth Proxy, there I login and then it gets passed to the code-server on port 8080. Because when I use Caddy instead of Nginx (what is mentioned in the docs of the proxy) I wouldnt have to hassle with SSL Certificates. Unfortunately I need a credit card for Cloudflare Access to work, would be cool, because I use it anyway

I got Oauth2_Proxy to work, which works just fine, so maybe adding a bit to the docs, but not more because you are completely right
