AFAIK the longer-term plan is to run social tests on every PR, to catch 
regressions by testing with real social providers. So maybe it's better 
to rather wait until we have that rather then introduce mocks now?

Also anyone from community should be able to run social tests based on 
our README. The important is, that someone could run it just for single 
provider, which he is interested in (EG. Google for this PR) and is not 
required to create the account+application in all social providers, 
which we support. But I hope the social tests already support this now.
