[Development] New repository for QtOAuth

Hi all,

We have recently been working on an implementation of OAuth (1+2), and 
this is now approaching a state in which it can be distributed as a tech 
preview. For this we'll need a new public repository.

The main reason for OAuth to reside in its own module (and not as a part 
of qtnetwork) is that it is specialized, and most qtnetwork users won't 
need it. This avoids increasing the footprint of, and unnecessary 
complexity in, qtnetwork. Another reason is that OAuth, while depending 
on and using networking mechanisms, isn't in itself really a networking 
mechanism.


Cheers,
- Fredrik -
