[oslc-core] OAuthConfiguration and need for OAuth consumer key/secret requests

[Steve K Speicher]

It would be good if we had a way for a consumer to discover how to request 
a consumer key/secret.

Since this process is non-standard (not saying we should define the 
protocol here), perhaps we could have a property on where one could go to 
make the requests.  I'd propose we add OAuthConsumerRequest with type is 
URI.  Possible values for this property could be: a URL to a website that 
describes how to make the request, a mailto link on who to email a request 
to, etc.

This is a very simple way to point consumers in the right direction for 
such a request.
