Third-party applications using our API need to let users authenticate. Right now, we allow users to generate a "personal access token," but I've added that mode mostly for people experimenting with their own scripts. Those tokens aren't suitable for giving to a third-party app. The typical way to handle this authentication scenario is OAuth. Let's implement an OAuth provider for Orbit.

Scope-wise, I think we can start with a simple read-only and read/write permissions model.
