[keycloak-user] Validate Implicit token

[Bill Burke]

I would use keycloak.js adapter with auth-code flow.  I personally don't 
like implicit flow for a number of reasons:

* access tokens get stored in browser history

* You have to perform the whole redirect dance when the access token expires

As far as Tomcat goes, we have an adapter for various tomcat versions.  
These tomcat instances would probably use bearer tokens to be secured.  
So, the javascript app uses keycloak.js to obtain the token.  REST 
invocations to TOMCAT are secured by a bearer token. Tomcat app has a 
keycloak adapter installed to be able to verify access tokens.
