Neon CLI command: neon-auth

Summary: The Neon CLI neon neon-auth command manages Managed Better Auth on a database branch from the terminal. Use enable, status, and disable to provision, inspect, or remove Managed Better Auth, and the oauth-provider subcommands to add, update, or delete Google, GitHub, and Vercel OAuth providers. The domain subcommands manage trusted redirect domains, including allow-localhost settings for local development. The config subcommands cover email and password authentication, the email provider, the organization plugin, and webhooks, while plugins and user let you inspect plugin configurations and manage auth users.
