Delegated Authentication

See original GitHub issue

Hoodie should support login and signup via various delegated authentication schemes.

Including:

Persona
GitHub
Twitter
Facebook
generic OAuth
etc

Currently hoodie.js just uses CouchDB’s /_session handler for authn. Since all requests go throughhoodie-server` though, we can intercept authentication requests and add delegated authn handling that would create a CouchDB user for us that holds the remote authentication token for future requests.

@daleharvey has a similar project for PouchDB and Persona: https://github.com/daleharvey/couch-persona/

We hope to be able to use passport.js to do all the heavy lifting for us.

In pocket, the app author will be able to define which, if any, delegated authentication schemes are enabled for that app.
