Make JSON rendering configurable for error responses about flask-oidc HOT 5 CLOSED

#26 adds a new render_errors parameter to accept_token, as well as corresponding test cases for the render_errors=None case.

So, the problem with this way is that we are currently sending JSON objects as they are defined in the OAuth2 specification, to improve compatibility.
If we were to allow anything, it would require users of this function to figure out how they are supposed to encode it themselves.

I'm fine with using a boolean toggle instead (for lazy-encoding-or-not). The key problem with the status quo is that it's incompatible with frameworks like Flask-RESTful that expect a dict object that the framework then encodes.

#27 is an alternative PR that just lets users turn off the eager error rendering for compatibility with REST frameworks that automatically encode all responses as JSON.

#27 has now been merged.
