Improvements of feedback from review I86fb8fab3

GitHub authentication has been submitted 9 months ago to Gerrit as
extra authentication backend: a lot of suggestions and after 57 (!)
patch-sets many improvements have been added to the code and are now
incorporated into GitHub master:

- Introduction of random state to prevent OAuth code injection and
  replay attacks
- Upgrade to HTTPClient 4.4 and connection pooling
- Introduction of HTTP proxy for outbound connections when installed
  within company firewalls
- Removal of heavy non serialisable objects from the HTTP Session
- Early release of HTTP connections to the pool to improve scalability
- Simplified set-up during init
- Improved documentation

Many thanks to all the people that participated in the Code-Review and
contributions: as Git doesn’t allow to have more than one author,
I will mention them below.

Thanks to: Edwin Kempin, David Pursehouse, Thomas Broyer,
           David Ostrovsky, Sasa Zivkov, Andre Saddler, Dariusz Luksza,
           Derek Hunter, Will DeBerry, Tom Hughes, Shawn Pearce
