Add authentication helper scaffold #54

The scaffolds is this project are great. Definately the best I've seen. Great job. I was thinking Firebase might be a cool target datastore for the auth helper scaffold. Anyone can create FREE datastore online (see https://www.firebase.com/signup/). JWT is best auth IMO (see http://blog.auth0.com/2014/01/07/angularjs-authentication-with-cookies-vs-token/) and Firebase supports it (see https://www.firebase.com/docs/security/custom-login.html) as well as Simple Login and Third Party solutions (see https://www.firebase.com/docs/security/authentication.html) That's a lot of different choices for authorization, which ever way the scaffold is created. There is a angularFire-seed (https://github.com/firebase/angularFire-seed) and an officially supported AngularJS binding for Firebase (https://github.com/firebase/angularfire) but the generic JWT should work and would probably be best IMO. Again, great work is being done on the XL scoffolds!
