Issue 72465 asks for an autogenerated spec of the FastAPI RBAC permissions so provider auth managers can model them externally without hand-maintaining a copy. BaseAuthManager.get_rbac_reference introspects the is_authorized_* methods, so the reference stays in sync automatically when resources change. Also adds an RBAC reference docs page, unit tests, and a newsfragment. Signed-off-by: anmolxlight <anmolxlight@gmail.com>

Summary
Closes #72465.
Provider auth managers like the Keycloak auth manager need to model the Airflow RBAC permissions in an external system, which today means hand-maintaining a copy of the RBAC surface. This adds
BaseAuthManager.get_rbac_reference(), a machine-readable reference introspected from theis_authorized_*methods, so it stays in sync automatically whenever resources are added or changed.Each entry is keyed by resource name (e.g.
"dag") and holds the authorizing method, allowed actions, scoping enum with values (e.g.DagAccessEntity,AccessView), details dataclass fields (e.g.DagDetails), and a short description. The reference is JSON-serializable so external systems can consume it directly.Also adds an "RBAC reference" docs page under Auth manager concepts, unit tests, and a newsfragment.
Skipped: a dedicated Sphinx extension or prek codegen hook. The runtime-introspected method cannot drift by construction; add codegen only if a static artifact is ever required.
