This pull request integrates the React frontend with the backend AAD B2C authentication. The pull request demonstrates how to force a login via AAD B2C, grab the returned token and use the token to make an authenticated request to our API.

Shouldn't all these paths be route protected?

/id_token must be non-authenticated since it's our auth callback/entrypoint. Video call could be authenticated if we wanted to.

Seems a little confusing to nest what looks to be component wrappers to run effects. No action needed, but curious about the thought process here.

This is mostly a work-around for the fact that hooks shouldn't run conditionally which means that we don't want to add LoginProfile into LoginRedirect. The logic to fetch the profile information could of course also be added in another place and I suspect it may move once we have more UI components set up. Feel free to refactor this as you see fit. I mostly just wanted to provide the scafolding for the authentication integration with this pull request.
