- modified accountmap interface to default caller to async to avoid conditional calling logic - the oauth account map requires a numerical github id, changed the interface to accept a full user dict from github, the implementations decide which keys to use for their mapping - added requester field to oauth account map as gitlab requires an id string associated with each request

This PR adds a mapping between two accounts: a user from an OAuth provider and a user in a gitlab instance.
The goal is to link a contributor on github.com to their corresponding account on the destination gitlab instance. By adding github as an OAuth provider, we can verify that both identities belong to the same person. When a push event comes in from github, the mapper checks whether the commit author exists as a gitlab user. If they do, the commit can be pushed to the destination repository.
To use this feature, the following environment variables must be set:
HC_ACCOUNT_MAP_TYPE="gitlab_oauth"HC_GL_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN-- a personal access token created by an admin of the Gitlab instance withread_apiscope (to query the list of users on the instance)HC_GL_OAUTH_PROVIDER="github"-- have only tested this with Github so far, but I imagine that Hubcast users may want to link between two Gitlab instances.--
This has been tested on gitlab.staging.spack.io.
