Section 3.1 of the RFC6749 says "Request and response parameters MUST NOT be included more than once."
Add a method to the OAuth2Request object to obtain all the values for the keys in form + args data as a list. This helps detects repetition of request parameters. Also, add a django and flask test for the same.
What kind of change does this PR introduce? (check at least one)
Does this PR introduce a breaking change? (check one)
If yes, please describe the impact and migration path for existing applications:
Possible breaking change for applications because clients that were repeating parameters in the request will now get an InvalidRequest error instead of successful authorization.
I don't see a reason why any client would do it intentionally but its enough of a concern, maybe we can add a flag or config to AuthorizationEndpointMixin to conditionally enable the check.
