Django Auth0 Auth

Django Auth0 Auth allows you to authenticate through Auth0.

NB this is a fork of: https://bitbucket.org/megaman821/django-auth0-auth because:

• we couldn't get that to work without some changes.
• we moved it to git because we had an issue with our paas buildpack installing from mercurial
