Subject: [PATCH] Add missing Individual User Accounts authentication step to
 Identity tutorial (#36959)

* Initial plan

* Add missing Individual User Accounts auth step to Identity tutorial

Fixes #33154 - The "Create a Razor web app" section was missing the
critical step of selecting Individual User Accounts authentication when
creating the project. Without this, the project has no Identity support
and the Identity scaffolder in the next section fails.

Added the authentication selection step in Visual Studio tabs and the
--auth Individual flag in .NET CLI tabs across all three moniker ranges.
