Add OAuth support or something

Make this system usable by more than just institutions that use CAS.

I just spent a bit of time looking at two alternative authentication options and they seem less than ideal:

• Oauth requires that we (the website) get a a client id (either from Google, Facebook, Reddit, etc.) that we would use to make our token requests. For google this means making a google API Console project see this.
• Kereberos seems not to have web-app integration (at least none that I saw).

OAuth doesn't sound too bad, right? Using google might have the benefit of allowing people to log in using their cwru account. Getting a client ID looks pretty straightforward.

It is the only issue is it is associated with Google account.
