GitHub OAuth authentication with Gerrit Git/HTTP protocol

It is possible now to use the standard GitHub OAuth
token on Git / HTTP with Gerrit Code Review.

The details on how GitHub OAuth Token for Git/HTTP
are described at:
https://help.github.com/articles/git-over-https-using-oauth-token

This allows to completely "shadow" your existing
GitHub repository behind a Gerrit Code Review front-end.
Using OAuth token you can automate the batch builds
over HTTP(/S) without having to manage Gerrit HTTP passwords.

NOTE: this requires the [auth.gitBasicAuth] setting
on your gerrit.config as currently there is no way to
seamlessly integrate SSO with Gerrit on Git/HTTP.
The GitHub plugin "automate" a random HTTP password
generate and use it internally for a transparent
BasicAuth, after having validated the GitHub OAuth Token.
