Currently it would be unused, yes. Not sure if there could be a future use for this though.

Since OIDC is currently the only implemented external authentication provider, in all the places where you would normally check for external auth usage there is instead a check for OIDC usage. This PR introduces a new env EXTERNAL_AUTH and replaces these checks with a check for EXTERNAL_AUTH. Also a few comments are left at places where additional providers would have to be "added".
This paves the way for addition of other external auth providers and, even if there are no plans to develop these from upstream side, makes it easier to develop and maintain extensions such as #5476 . Also, it will not require any additional effort to maintain the changes made in this PR and it does not change the current behavior of GL3.
If any changes have to be made to make this mergeable, I'm happy to work on them. Please let me know!
