Implement proper SAML Single Logout (SLO) for the ActiveTransfer Web Client so that users are fully signed out from the Identity Provider upon logout.

Currently, when a user authenticated via SAML SSO logs out of the ActiveTransfer Web Client, only the local MFT session is terminated. The Identity Provider session (e.g. Keycloak, ADFS) remains active. As a result, clicking "Login again with Single Sign On" immediately re-authenticates the user without prompting for credentials — effectively making logout a no-op from a security perspective.

The SAML 2.0 standard defines a Single Logout (SLO) profile specifically to address this: upon logout, the Service Provider initiates a signed LogoutRequest to the IdP, which in turn invalidates the IdP session and returns a LogoutResponse. The necessary libraries (Spring Security SAML) are already part of the product stack and include a SingleLogoutProfile implementation. What is missing is the integration of this profile into the logout flow of the Web Client.

The fix would require the logout handler to generate a SAML SLO redirect to the IdP instead of simply closing the local session, and a corresponding endpoint to process the LogoutResponse returned by the IdP.
