Public/private key login

[rmader]

Additionally to userid/secret login, in some scenarios it might be handy to have a public/private key login, similar to ssh.

Especially for IoT devices, it's maybe nice if the devise can

• just create it's own key pair (or get deploit with it)
• sign up with it
• as soon as the sign-up is accepted by the administrator, the device can use it to make a handshake (to get an access token, as key verification on each call is not performant, see Create servlet to obtain acces/login token #603)
• it can then use the token on each request
