External Objects & Integrations: Support of Client Credentials Grant Type and Scope for OAuth2 Authentication type

New Authentication Type: OAuth2 "Client Credentials" is now available as a new grant type for OAuth2 Auth type.

Scope Field: An optional scope field is added for OAuth2 auth types to provide scope value as required to authenticate with 3rd-party services.

Business Benefit:

Easier & secure Integration to Service like OCI Apps: Connections can be made to External services like OCI native services or other 3rd party service, where only OAuth2 Client Credentials is available or recommended, and uses scope as an additional security mechanism.
