  1. Add support for Client Credentials Grant Type to OAuth2 authentication 

    OAuth2 support requires that only tokens associated with users may be used with authenticated resources. However, OAuth2 also support a client credentials grant type which
does not require any user interaction. This is typically used directly by applications to access such API. This does not work with RESTful as once a resource is marked as
authenticated, there has to be an associated user.

This change allows plugin developers to specify a user which will be used when a client credentials token is used. The user may be specified with the uid or name. The uid
has the higher priority.
