OAuth testing continued

One more test I needed to add to my list earlier is that the tokens expiry time could be validated by waiting for the expiration time and trying it again. In addition, we could test that the refresh tokens are issued for non-expired tokens. Token issued to one client should not be usable by another client.
The spoofing client could even use the same API key as the spoofed client. If the same user authorizes two clients both of whom have now requested access tokens, then these tokens should be similar, work the same and generally not be transferable or exchanged. A client requesting user authorization cannot use the same token for non-user privileged API for another user.
