use oauth now that there are no tokens

[danielb2]

since the gist api no longer seems to support tokens, it would be nice to be able to use the oauth2 mechanism for authentication.

+1. Having my password in clear text scares me.

+1. I'd like to avoid putting my password in plain text on my machine. The current implementation with passwords is a step down in security from the API keys used before.

+1. I was flabbergasted to discover that gist wants me to store a plaintext password now; I thought I'd somehow installed a phishing gem.

+1. Same here. This makes gist pretty much unusable.

If you guys need a temporary solution, I've uploaded a jist gem (https://github.com/ConradIrwin/jist) — it's fully Oauth2'd :).
