fix: authentication adapter app ID validation may be circumvented; this fixes a vulnerability that affects configurations which allow users to authenticate using the Parse Server authentication adapter for *Facebook* or *Spotify* and where the server-side authentication adapter configuration appIds is set as a string (e.g. abc) instead of an array of strings (e.g. ["abc"]) ([GHSA-r657-33vp-gp22](https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/security/advisories/GHSA-r657-33vp-gp22)) [skip release] (#8187)
