Refactor OpenIdConnect class and improve error handling

refactor(auth): optimize OpenIdConnect readability and add specific structural errors

- Relocate verbose OpenAPI `Doc` strings into a centralized `DOCS` dictionary to clear visual clutter in the `__init__` constructor.
- Upgrade `make_not_authenticated_error` to accept a dynamic `detail` argument for flexible error reporting.
- Refactor `__call__` to add granular structural validation on the `Authorization` header, catching missing headers, invalid prefixes, or empty tokens instantly.
- Maintain full backward compatibility with the original class contract.
