Alias GitHub and BitBucket OAuth2 callback URLs
To prevent an OAuth2 covert redirect vulnerability, this commit adds and uses an alias for the GitHub and BitBucket OAuth2 callback URLs to the following paths: GitHub: /users/auth/-/import/github Bitbucket: /users/auth/-/import/bitbucket This allows admins to put a more restrictive callback URL in the OAuth2 configuration settings. Instead of https://example.com, admins can now use: https://example.com/users/auth It's possible but not trivial to change Devise and OmniAuth to use a different prefix for callback URLs instead of /users/auth. For now, aliasing the import URLs under the /users/auth namespace should suffice. Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/56663
