lib/oauthutil: Improved usability of config flows needing web browser

Browse Source 
The config question "Use auto config?" confused many users and lead to
recurring forum posts from users that were unaware that they were using
a remote or headless machine.

This commit makes the question and possible options more descriptive
and precise.

This commit also adds references to the guide on remote setup in the
documentation of backends using oauth as primary authentication.
