[keycloak-user] SAML functionality

[Bill Burke]

Keycloak is already a full-fledged IDP except is uses OpenID Connect as 
a protocol instead of SAML.  OpenID Connect was written and targeted for 
Web applications and REST services.  SAML, on the other hand, was 
written for SOAP and web app support retrofitted on as an after thought....

That being said, SAML integration is coming in a week or two.  I have 
basic SAML working in master, I'm currently adding support for 
signed/encrypted SAML requests.  All of this code is leveraging the 
picketlink-federation module that Picketlink IDP is built on.
