Feature Request: Add HMAC-SHA-1 signing for NSURLRequest / NSMutableURLRequest

[dhiraj]

Adding more category methods on RequestUtils to facilitate non-external-library based OAuth 1 would be immensely useful.

Given the standard set of oath authentication parameters, the category function would add them as an Authorization HTTP Header field on the categorized URLRequest, with automatic nonce and timestamp generation for HMAC-SHA-1 OAuth.

Does this make sense? Would love to know your thoughts on this, Nick.

I think it does make sense, but I'm not familiar enough with implementing OAuth at the header level to confidently add this feature.

If you'd like to do so as a pull request, I'd certainly be interested.
