Returning the auth_session parameter from the token endpoint #121

Section 6.1 states that the token endpoint response MAY include the auth_session parameter. This is required for messages returned from the AS, I am unclear why it is not required when a token endpoint response is returned. Section 6.2 has the same issue.

The intent was that this is an optional feature of the protocol. The authorization server may not want or need to maintain context, so it becomes optional in that sense. I do expect it will be commonly used, but the protocol can be used without it. It may also be included in the token response (even when the authorization code was obtained through other means), but not mandatory as existing AS's may not support it.
