`Send` issue when migrating from v3.5 to v4 (using async http client)

[brocaar]

First of all thanks for providing this crate!

I'm trying to upgrade from the v3.5 version to the v4 alpha, but I'm running into some issues.

I am refactoring:

async fn get_client() -> Result<CoreClient> {
    let conf = config::get();

    if conf.user_authentication.enabled != "openid_connect" {
        return Err(anyhow!("OIDC is not enabled"));
    }

    let client_id = ClientId::new(conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.client_id.clone());
    let client_secret = ClientSecret::new(
        conf.user_authentication
            .openid_connect
            .client_secret
            .clone(),
    );
    let provider_url =
        IssuerUrl::new(conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.provider_url.clone())?;
    let redirect_url =
        RedirectUrl::new(conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.redirect_url.clone())?;

    let provider_metadata =
        CoreProviderMetadata::discover_async(provider_url, async_http_client).await?;
    let client =
        CoreClient::from_provider_metadata(provider_metadata, client_id, Some(client_secret))
            .set_redirect_uri(redirect_url);

    Ok(client)
}

Into:

type Client = CoreClient<
    EndpointSet,
    EndpointNotSet,
    EndpointNotSet,
    EndpointNotSet,
    EndpointMaybeSet,
    EndpointMaybeSet,
>;

async fn get_client() -> Result<Client> {
    let conf = config::get();

    if conf.user_authentication.enabled != "openid_connect" {
        return Err(anyhow!("OIDC is not enabled"));
    }

    let http_client = reqwest::ClientBuilder::new()
        .redirect(reqwest::redirect::Policy::none())
        .build()?;

    let provider_metadata = CoreProviderMetadata::discover_async(
        IssuerUrl::new(conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.provider_url.clone())?,
        &http_client,
    )
    .await?;

    let client = CoreClient::from_provider_metadata(
        provider_metadata,
        ClientId::new(conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.client_id.clone()),
        Some(ClientSecret::new(
            conf.user_authentication
                .openid_connect
                .client_secret
                .clone(),
        )),
    )
    .set_redirect_uri(RedirectUrl::new(
        conf.user_authentication.openid_connect.redirect_url.clone(),
    )?);

    Ok(client)
}

While I believe the code is correct, it no longer works within my application because the returned future is not Send, which is required by a higher-up function that is invoking the get_client function.

This error was not raised when using the v3.5 crate version.

I believe this was fixed in #158 but I still need to cut a release with it, which I'll try to do this week.

Thanks for your response @ramosbugs, I will re-try against the next release then :)
