[keycloak-dev] UserFederationProvider with non-trivial configuration

[Bill Burke]

I totally forgot about that PR.  Are those PR changes good enough for 
you?  Can you live with just that new interface?  I can change and 
increase the value for user federation config to 2048 to support things 
like certificate pem files.
