TokenSource

This is a Source-like component that goes through either traditional 'secret' based login or a 'oidc' flow depending on the type argument given.

As with most of our Source components, the component only needs to be added to the page in order to start the flow and is meant to be used as such (think 'this is like an ``). It is also loosely based on a HTML <input /> element (it has type and value arguments/attributes)

When using the oidc type the component will go through the steps of requesting the OIDC providers authorization URL from Consul, go through the OIDC flow with the user and the 3rd party provider (via our <JwtSource /> component), then lastly exchanging the resulting JWT with Consul for a normal Consul token.

When using the secret type, the component simply exchanges the users secret for a normal Consul token.

This component does not store the resulting token, it only emits it via its onchange argument/event handler. Errors are emitted via the onerror argument/event handler.

Potential improvements

We could decide to remove the @type argument and always require an object passed to @value instead of a String|Object. Alternatively we could still allow String|Object. Then inside the component we could decide whether to use the Consul or SSO depending on the shape of the @value argument. All in all this means we can remove the @type argument making a slimmer component API.
