[v15.0/forgejo] fix: prevent actions workflows from generating OIDC tokens if not authorized in workflow (#12038)

**Backport:** https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/12030

When using Forgejo's `enable-openid-connect: true`, a URL is generated into the actions under `$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL` that can be used to generate a JWT for accessing third-party resources authenticated as the action executing in this server on this repo.  However, the endpoint of that url (`.../idtoken`) had unintentionally missed a `return` on an internal server error, and was missing a check that the action actually had `enable-openid-connect: true` on it.  As a result, it was possible to generate a JWT for accessing third-party resources from an action that wasn't expected to be generating JWTs.

In terms of real-world vulnerability, the most likely risk is that the JWT could be generated from a forked pull request.  By not using the `$ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL` and instead going directly to the `.../idtoken` endpoint, and parsing a generated JWT response that will be mixed with an error response, it's possible to retrieve a JWT in a forked pull request.  It would require a slight misconfiguration on a third-party system to allow that JWT access, but it's a plausible risk.

As this is a feature in Forgejo 15 that hasn't been released, it will be fixed in-public.

### Tests for Go changes

(can be removed for JavaScript changes)

- I added test coverage for Go changes...
  - [ ] in their respective `*_test.go` for unit tests.
  - [x] in the `tests/integration` directory if it involves interactions with a live Forgejo server.
- I ran...
  - [x] `make pr-go` before pushing

### Documentation

- [ ] I created a pull request [to the documentation](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/docs) to explain to Forgejo users how to use this change.
- [x] I did not document these changes and I do not expect someone else to do it.

### Release notes

- [ ] This change will be noticed by a Forgejo user or admin (feature, bug fix, performance, etc.). I suggest to include a release note for this change.
- [x] This change is not visible to a Forgejo user or admin (refactor, dependency upgrade, etc.). I think there is no need to add a release note for this change.
    - Feature is not yet released.
