Warwick Web Sign-on OAuth Services

OAuth 1.0a delegated access to Warwick web services — Sitebuilder (separate read and edit scopes), Warwick Search, Files.Warwick, Warwick Blogs, Warwick Forums, Exam Timetabling, Printer Credits and Web Sign-on itself. Signed with RSA-SHA1 or HMAC-SHA1. Uses a Warwick-specific `scope` parameter that is not part of the OAuth standard and cannot travel in the Authorization header. Applications must be registered with the ITS Web Team before a token will be issued. Note this is OAuth 1.0a, not OAuth 2.0, and there is no OIDC discovery document — /.well-known/openid-configuration returns 404.

x-operator-evidence: Token endpoints are on websignon.warwick.ac.uk, Warwick's own host; the scope URNs
  name Warwick services exclusively.

x-baseurl-note: No baseURL is emitted. https://websignon.warwick.ac.uk/oauth returns HTTP 404 — there
  is no resource at the OAuth path root, only the three named token endpoints. Those are recorded in authentication/university-of-warwick-authentication.yml
  rather than emitted as a pointer that would grade dead.
