Add an end-to-end example to Readme #534

I guess simply adding var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy; to the sample would lower the barrier for new users drastically.

I've just started learning about Passport, and the main thing that confuses me is about the sessions and why serialize user only has to be called once in the entire program (outside of the routes). At this point, I assume that calling serializeUser() does something that serializes every request.

I agree that would help, but the readme does already link to 4 tutorials with 4 examples, as well as the links to each strategies' repo. The official docs are also a great resource.

Perhaps the readme could go into a little more detail though.
