Add OAuth login support in the App

[Adoliin]

Currently when signing up and creating and account using OAuth (eg. with google) I can login through the web UI just fine. But when I want to login to my account through the app I can't because it's only possible through the regular username and password.
Now what makes this even more frustrating is that when im trying to set up a password through the Settings page in the web UI, I have 3 fields: Enter password, Confirm password, and Old password. The problem with Old password is that if I initially signed up using OAuth then I don't have a password so now I basically can't change password, rendering it impossible to connect to my account through the App if I don't have admin access to change it from the admin dashboard.

I know that's another issue so i can probably open up another issue in the main repo for a fix for: When setting up the password for the first time, the input for Old password should not exist.

This seems to be a separate issue, for the server code, not the app - please create a separate issue on the other repository for this.

Regarding oauth support on the app, it's a great idea, and I'm sure there's a way to support it. Do you have any familiarity with the flutter ecosystem, in particular with regard to oauth support?

What about just opening a popup in which the website loads and then waits for the redirect with the token?

from within the app? How would this work?

Yes, I will create another one there

Im currently getting myself familiar with the flutter ecosystem so that I can start working on it. The only issue I see now is that currently logging in to Inventree in the app is tied to adding a server. So how about we separate the two things and make logging in have a separate view from adding a server?

I like this idea, it would allow us to also look at implementing #351

In that case, we store the token rather than the username and password.

If the app does not have a token, or the server responds with a "needs auth" message, we redirect to the login screen.
