[Feature] Use Microsoft Authentication Library for Login

[jamesmontemagno]

Is this possible? It will cache our token correctly and work really nice. Seems like we are using a browser?

James, I can do some research on this. Live Id oauth API "out of the box" instructions for phone apps specify to use a web browser control. I am not up to speed on the library you suggest, but if it can work in the Xamarin app, then lets try it out!

The limitation here is the the API requires MSAL OAuth 2 token. I spoke to the dev team behind the API and there's no plan to enable AAD or multi-tenant capability, so if the MAL.net works for this it will be spectacular.
