This allows for API clients to get information about the Dex server.

Especially when used in Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Crossplane), this information can be used to provision other resources that might require this information (e.g. issuerUrl required by oauth2-proxy to do token validation).

I've extended the terraform provider with this functionality based on this PR, see https://github.com/koendelaat/terraform-provider-dexidp/ and https://registry.terraform.io/providers/koendelaat/dexidp/latest/docs/data-sources/discovery
