Add support for OAuth 2.0 (OpenID Connect) #104

Google has deprecated the Open ID 2.0 support. https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID

I've just installed the registry on a new server and struggled with finding an openid provider that worked. Ended up installing SimpleID (http://simpleid.koinic.net/) on my own server.

Not sure if openid4java supports OAuth 2.0 but maybe it's only a matter of updating the library to the latest version to fix this.

Agreed that with Google deprecating OpenID this has to change some how.

Moving to OAuth 2.0 may or may not be the right solution, might have to revert to plain logins or something. We are only looking for Identity not authorization and only chose OpenID due to advice on UK public sector directions.
