ownCloud admins and users.

[7.1.1]: https://github.com/owncloud/client/compare/v7.1.0...v7.1.1

##### Summary

* Bugfix - Load OIDC configuration values from the right keys: [#12597](https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12597)

##### Details

* Bugfix - Load OIDC configuration values from the right keys: [#12597](https://github.com/owncloud/client/pull/12597)

   The OIDC `prompt` setting was read from the `Ports` configuration value, so a
   bogus `prompt` parameter was sent to the identity provider. The configured
   redirect `Ports` were also parsed as a single string, which is empty on
   platforms where QSettings returns a string list for comma-separated values
   (ini-based configurations) — every system-configured port was silently dropped
   when more than one was configured. Both values are now read from their own key
   and with the right type.
