Bugfixes and tests for getting grants. Add tests for the grant confirmation part of the request to get a grant code. When the request is denied, the redirect should have an access_denied error. When the request is approved, the redirect should contain a code. Fix numerous bugs in which the redirect URL didn't contain the parameters we thought it would. Basically, anything that still used req.URL.Query().Set() instead of copying the query, modifying it, and setting req.URL.RawQuery. Fix a bug in which the redirectURL wasn't being properly set. Basically, when we moved the redirectURI processing to the top of the file (c29c7df35905 for those who forgot), we didn't update the reference to it lower in the file, where redirectURI was being updated and we expected that to be reflected in the processing. The HTTP handler for getting grant codes is now completely tested except for returning internal errors, which requires a new test harness be built to provoke internal errors on demand. At this point, however, I'd like to continue on implementing endpoints.

2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider.
3
4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the
5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users
6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably.
7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for
8 the worst case scenarios.
9
10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management,
11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token
12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific
13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user
14 and client that authorized the request.
