This commit introduces the `UseUserAccessGroup` method to the Firebase Authentication C++ SDK. This method allows developers to specify a user access group for iCloud keychain access on iOS. It calls the underlying Objective-C method `[FIRAuth useUserAccessGroup:error:]`. On other platforms (Desktop, Android), this method is a no-op and returns `kAuthErrorNone` as the feature is iOS-specific. Key changes: - Added `UseUserAccessGroup` declaration to `firebase::auth::Auth` in `auth/src/include/firebase/auth.h` with Doxygen comments. - Implemented the iOS-specific logic in `auth/src/ios/auth_ios.mm`, including error handling and string conversion. - Added a stub implementation in `auth/src/desktop/auth_desktop.cc` for non-iOS platforms.

Android also needs this stub.

If there is a blank string, let's pass it in verbatim instead of nil. Remember to update the docs to reflect this.

Can you double-check which error codes this might return and make sure there are values for all of them in the AuthError enum and the AuthErrorFromNSError function?
This commit addresses feedback from the pull request review for the UseUserAccessGroup feature: - Added a stub implementation for Android in `auth_android.cc`. - Updated iOS implementation in `auth_ios.mm` to pass an empty NSString (`@""`) to the native SDK if an empty C++ string is provided. `nullptr` still results in `nil` being passed. - Updated Doxygen comments in `auth.h` to reflect the iOS behavior for `nullptr` and empty string inputs more accurately. - Investigated potential NSError codes for the underlying iOS SDK method. Confirmed that `FIRAuthErrorCodeKeychainError` is the most relevant documented error, and it is already correctly handled by the existing C++ error mapping.
