Bind an SSO connection to an organization

POST/api/v1/organizations/{id}/sso-connections

Binds an end_user SSO connection to the organization: a login through the connection lands in this organization, joining as a member with default_role_id when the identity is provisioned or is not yet a member, and the session starts here. The connection must already be bound to the organization's Environment (that binding routes the email domain), and the role must be an active, non-system role of the Environment (400 otherwise: rbac.role_inactive or rbac.role_system_not_assignable). A connection binds to one organization per Environment (409). Requires the hierarchy.manage permission at the organization and emits organization.sso_connection.bound.
