Document internal_login scope auto-grant behavior

[hwupathum]

Purpose

This pull request updates the documentation to clarify the special handling of the internal_login scope in API authorization and user impersonation scenarios. The main focus is to inform users that internal_login is always granted to applications, regardless of explicit authorization, and will always appear in relevant tokens.

Authorization and scope clarification:

• Added a note in api-authorization.md to explain that the internal_login scope is automatically granted to any application that requests it, without requiring explicit authorization.
• Added a note in user-impersonation.md stating that internal_login is always present in the scope claim for any application, regardless of authorization.

Authorization documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document internal_login scope behavior en/includes/guides/authorization/api-authorization.md, en/includes/guides/authorization/user-impersonation.md	The guides state that internal_login is automatically granted to applications. The user impersonation guide also states that the scope always appears in the subject token.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d424c

The documentation clarifies how internal_login is granted and included in tokens, but both new notes need clearer active, token-specific wording and the reported Vale warning should be resolved before merge.

Use active and token-specific wording in both notes.

The new notes describe known system behavior with passive or vague wording.

• en/includes/guides/authorization/api-authorization.md#L136-L136: state that the system automatically grants internal_login.
• en/includes/guides/authorization/user-impersonation.md#L287-L287: state that the subject token's scope claim includes internal_login and remove the Vale warning.

As per coding guidelines, use active voice and resolve all Vale warnings before finalizing documentation.
