Description

Currently, if OAuth fails to match user over the subject, it will attempt to match via e-mail. There should be a setting for disabling this fallback.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current OAuth matching logic in Misago's codebase, likely in the `misago/oauth/` directory. Identify where email fallback occurs and add a boolean setting to disable it. Update admin panel if needed.
