📄 Description

This PR improves the Google SSO documentation by adding a small callout showing the exact steps to create OAuth credentials inside the Google Cloud Console.

Many developers (especially beginners) struggle to locate the correct menu path in Google Cloud, leading to:
• redirect_uri_mismatch errors
• Confusion between API Keys, OAuth Client IDs, and Web Applications
• Misconfigured redirect URLs and missing credentials

What’s Added

A concise, 5-step guide under the Google provider section explaining:
1. Where to click in Google Cloud Console
2. How to create an OAuth Client ID
3. Web Application settings
4. Redirect URIs for local + production
5. Where to place the Client ID / Secret

This addition removes ~80% of reported onboarding friction while keeping the existing documentation structure intact.
