[Feature]: Remember Me Auth with External Auth #5796

Description

@btzdnl

Feature Summary

I want to stay logged in when using external authentication

What problem does this feature solve?

When using external authentication (OAuth2 via plugin in my case) there is no way for the "Remember Me" authentication to activate. As such, the resulting cookie has "Session" lifetime. Depending on the browser, this won’t even last an hour.

Proposed Solution

External login sessions could either always trigger "Remember Me" (industry standard behavior) or they could act on information returned from the external authentication provider (OAuth2 scopes etc.).

Alternatives Considered

The external authentication provider could have the "Remember Me" functionality. However, the provider may not always be fully under Kanboard admin’s control.

Additional Context

I'm not entirely sure where (plugin or core) this solution would have to be implemented. I apologize if this is the wrong repository to file this issue.
