Edward Angert f475555d06 docs: document that default GitHub app requires device flow (#17162)
## Issue

Closes #16824

Document that the default GitHub authentication app provided by Coder
requires device flow, and that this behavior cannot be overridden.

## Changes Made

Claude updated the GitHub authentication documentation to:

1. Add a prominent warning in the Default Configuration section
explaining that the default GitHub app requires device flow and ignores
the `CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_DEVICE_FLOW` setting
2. Clarify the Device Flow section to indicate that:
   - Device flow is always enabled for the default GitHub app
   - Device flow is optional for custom GitHub OAuth apps
- The `CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_DEVICE_FLOW` setting is ignored when using
the default app
