feat(rest): Add Passport support

[nnance]

I was thinking of creating a pull request to add Passport as an OAuth module for server side rest application. Of course I would make it optional. Is this valuable?

👍

Of course, it's valuable.

[DaftMonk]

Yes, this would be a good a addition to the generator.

@nnance are you going to do this? Otherwise, I'm going to build this now, it would be quite valuable for me and since this is my favorite generator, I would try to make it as good as I can... (I'm quite new to the whole node world though...)

@kjellski @nnance please do. I've been trying to fix my authentication in this generator for a whole day now.

If you want you can use this as a reference https://github.com/DaftMonk/angular-passport. I made it with an older version of the generator, but it might help you get started.

@kjellski I am actively working on this. It is coming slower than I expected. I hope to have i working in the next few days. @DaftMonk thanks for the reference. It might help me resolve a couple of outstanding issues.

@nnance I'm unable to find any repos from your side on github where I could contribute, but I'm willing to hack away and throw it out of the window if it won't fit in. Here are my thoughts:

• User model with password encryption by bcrypt.
• Authentication middleware straight from passport.

is there interest in having a default "web side" for this?

otherwise I would just "steal" from mean.io

I've opened a pull request #36 that has the serverside basically done. Any feedback is appreciated.

EDIT: I've made my way through the server side on this, client side needs feedback :)
