Validate token

[nrwiersma]

Hi,

Was looking for a way to manually validate a token. It seems to only be possible to through a bearer token validator. There are a fair number use cases for this, the main one in my case is allowing consumers to validate a token and its scopes.

As a reference, GitHub does this, the documentation can be found here.

You'll need to implement this manually for now, but V6 will support "token
introspection" which is an RFC that I've been working on.

@alexbilbie did Introspection make it's way into v6?
