missing option to use OAuth credentials for etherpad-lite 2.X

[tommyhlw]

With etherpad-lite 2.X there is OAuth2.0 enforced and the used APIKEY is not offered anymore: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/6320

Input of ClientId and Secret would be required for Nextcloud and a service requesting a valid jwt for authentication.

I unfortunately don't really know PHP but as it seems you'd require changing the settings.php template and use any php library that supports client credentials grant for the requests. You can add a suitable client in the settings.json file of Etherpad like this:

      {
        "client_id": "client_credentials",
        "redirect_uris": [],
        "response_types": [],
        "grant_types": ["client_credentials"],
        "client_secret": "client_credentials",
        "extraParams": [
          {
            "name": "admin",
            "value": "true"
          }
        ]
      }

A beta version (0.11.0-beta.1) with OAuth2 support was released and will be available in a few minutes on Nextcloud App Store. A >2.0.2 version of Etherpad is required so we can use the client_credentials grant type (introduced in https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/pull/6325).

I’ll add some documentation in the main README.md before the final 0.11.0 release.

Please tell me if you encounter any issue!
