Correct change: Pomerium's OIDC integration uses the authorization-code flow, so Keycloak's Direct access grants (ROPC) is unnecessary here. Green CI.

Summary
This PR removes the instruction to enable the "Direct access grants" setting from the Keycloak client creation steps.
Details
Currently, the docs instruct readers to enable the "Direct access grants" setting when creating a Keycloak client. However, the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant — the formal name for Direct access grants — is considered legacy and "MUST NOT be used" (RFC 9700).
I confirmed that the Keycloak integration works correctly without enabling Direct access grants.
