Backport: #3869
Fixes #3868
When authenticating with application credentials,
ToTokenV3ScopeMapwas including a project scope in the token request. Keystone rejects this with HTTP 401:Application credentials cannot request a scope.Application credentials carry an implicit project scope already. The fix returns an empty scope map early when application credentials are present.
