Research direction

Start by locating the ConnectionPropertiesOptions definition in the auth0-python SDK and inspect how connection option fields are declared. Reproduce the issue using metadata_url and domain_aliases, then verify both fields are accepted when creating a connection and covered by the relevant tests.

Description

According to this article https://support.auth0.com/center/s/article/Creating-SAML-enterprise-connection-from-customer-provided-metadata-files, the options field have a metadata_url, but it's not declared in the ConnectionPropertiesOptions.

We also miss the options.domain_aliases field

With this migration we must upgrade the sdk to version 5.1.0+ but we are blocked because of this.

Reproduction

Try to create a connection with options.metadata_url and options.domain_aliases fields
