Rewrite of the documentation to show step by step how to implement social login

Additional Context

I am willing to contribute a new document once I have figured out how to implement successfully (Google login)

We use an open source third party dependency for social logins. This has great documentation already.
There are a lot of guides and videos out there explaining the process. Since most of this is just third party API documentation, we don't have an end to end guide.

You don't need to edit any file other than your .env file, any step requiring anything else you can skip.

You need to enable social auth in your config and add the missing config entries with your API credentials.

The Google API for example is just a nightmare for beginners, I'd recommend looking for a somewhat recent video tutorial.

After adding your 3 keys to the .env with your credentials everything should work out of the box.

Look for something like "Google Socialite in Laravel" on the internet.

If you find the time to fill in the gaps in the documentation, that would be great.

If somethings not clear I can help with the LinkStack side, with the Google side not so much.

Once you found a video tutorial for the Google API, our documentation should make a lot more sense to you.

It's mostly just "cookie cutter paste your API keys in".
