[#1017] Added Google authentication for players

The functions google/create_user google/login_user and google/bind_user have been added. They all accept a code value that must be obtained by the caller from Google. The usual way to obtain such a token is by forwarding the user to a location like:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?
   response_type=code&
   redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URL&
   client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&
   scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fplus.me&
   access_type=offline

This will return the code in the browser URL after the login and redirect.

You will need to configure the Google authentication on the settings page.

For your convenience (and to negate the need to obtain codes twice) the google/create_user call returns a roar auth_token, so you do not need to subsequently call google/login_user

[#1015] In lua p:notify("key",value") adds entries into the server block

Scripts can add to the player notifications returned in the server XML chunk.

This means scripts can now get information to players from Regen scripts and Script modifiers as well as allowing functions to be more modular.

Calls should look like this:

args.player:notify("some_key","1234;4321;abc")

Response will look like this

<server>
  <script key="some_key" value="1234;4321;abc" />
</server>
