Bump Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions from 7.3.1 to 7.4.0

[dependabot]

Bumps Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions from 7.3.1 to 7.4.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Microsoft.IdentityModel.Abstractions's releases.

7.4.0

New Features:

• Introduced an injection point for external metadata management and adjusted the issuer Last Known Good (LKG) to maintain the state within the issuer validator. See PR #2480.
• Made an internal virtual method public, enabling users to provide signature providers. See PR #2497.

Performance Improvements:

• Added a new JsonWebToken constructor that accepts Memory for improved performance, along with enhancements to existing constructors. More information can be found in issue #2487 and in PR #2458.

Fundamentals:

• Resolved the issue of duplicated log messages in the source code and made IDX10506 log message more specific. For more details, refer to PR #2481.
• Enhanced Json serialization by ensuring the complete object is always read. This improvement can be found in PR #2491.

Engineering Excellence:

• Streamlined the build and release process by replacing the dependency on updateAssemblyInfo.ps1 with the Version property. Check out the details in PR #2494.
• Excluded the packing of Benchmark and TestApp projects for a more efficient process. Details available in PR #2496.

7.4.0-preview1

Performance Improvements:

• The existing JsonWebToken constructors now utilizes ReadOnlyMemory and Span to extract token segments, eliminating the need for string.split operations.
• A new constructor has been introduced that accepts ReadOnlyMemory of an encoded token. See issue #2487.

Performance Assessment on .NET 8:

• When using the preview version and opting for the constructor that accepts a string for the encoded token, the generation of a JWS yields a 3.95% decrease in memory usage, a 4.52% reduction in Gen0 and a 4.61% decrease in execution time compared to the latest release.
• The performance of the constructor that accepts ReadOnlyMemory is comparable to the constructor accepting a string for the encoded token, both for JWS and JWE.
