[keycloak-dev] Abstract SMS support

[Bill Burke]

I was thinking that we would create abstract support for SMS support for 
Keycloak.  We would define a simple Provider interface for sending text 
messages.  We would not provide anything out of the box for now.  We 
would require users to implement their own SMS provider and plug it in.

Basically, we'd have an SMS OTP Authenticator for both the browser login 
and reset-credentials flows.  Keycloak would just send an SMS with a 
one-time secret code that you have to enter in.  We also would implement 
a validate mobile number required action too.

I don't think any of this would take very long (a day or two?) once I 
get the reset-credential pluggable-flow support done.

Later on, maybe its something we could integrate with Aerogear UPS out 
of the box?
