Consider add state parameter when calling provider Oauth URL

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is not a bug but a feature request.
When making the call to the provider it is possible to send a 'state' parameter 
with application internal data that might be useful to the application upon 
receipt of the respons.
This is part of the Oauth: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.1

My suggestion is to extend the getAuthenticationUrl method of SocialAuthManager 
to accept the state value as parameter.

Thanks

You can set the auth endpoints in properties file.

Please have a look into the following URL
https://github.com/3pillarlabs/socialauth/wiki/Sample-Properties

Here you can see, we can set the following end points
www.google.com.request_token_url
www.google.com.authentication_url
www.google.com.access_token_url

Same is valid for other providers too. For Oauth2 providers we need to set only 
two properties
graph.facebook.com.authentication_url= 
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize
graph.facebook.com.access_token_url=https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_toke

If you are creating the manager object at the same time then you can use the 
"addProviderConfig" method of SocialAuthConfig class.
You can manuly create OAuthConfig object and set it in SocialAuthConfig and 
pass SocialAuthConfig to the manager.

And in SocialAuthConfig we also has one more method "load(final Properties 
properties)". You can manually create properties object with the key/values 
what you are setting in oauth_consumer.properties file.
