Make this tool WordPress independent #7

Actually, this tool need to be used within WordPress because it uses several functions from WordPress core.

But the main potencial of the WP REST API and OAuth is that any application can consume WordPress data, not another WordPress application but any. So, the tool has a very limited use scope.

I suggest to remove all WordPress functions so anyone can use this tool to connect with WordPress from anywhere on Internet. ¿What do you think?

This tool was built specifically to connect WP to WP, but I am totally open to the idea of making it WP agnostic, and having a compatibility layer built in which would default to WP functionality if it was found.
