[aerogear-dev] Keycloak integration

[Matthias Wessendorf]

I have submitted an _early_ PR to master to get the KC bits in - this will
help the Angular.js based UI overhaul, as its currently lacks a proper
login UI ;-)

https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server/pull/156

Once that is merged to MASTER, the angular branch can be rebased on this;

Note: I added notes for users, to go w/ a 'stable' 0.10.x version...
