Add meta data

The API's return more data beyond username, displayName and photo.
It would be nice to have that data together with the requests.
Yeah, would be nice to have more details from the profile. But I'd prefer, not to waste too much cookie size [(limits)[http://browsercookielimits.squawky.net/]).
Maybe we could add an env like LW_MAX_COOKIE_SIZE which controls how much meta will be put.
Or the user should specify, additional meta fields should be included (per service), like LW_GOOGLE_META=foo.bar,baz[0].extra.url
Both solutions would require quite some boring work i guess....
How about adding a Redis instance to keep the data as optional? If the redis instance exist, keep the extra data in it, otherwise just ignore the extra data.
adding redis would make login-with stateful...which would be sad :(
the user would loose the meta data on restart...
how about passing the meta with the redirect body on successful login. than your custom server could handle it?
... but this seems to complicated.... I think LW_GOOGLE_META is my favorite. it is explicit and simple. maybe you can come up with a nice env variable syntax?
closing in favor of #44
