Bug Description

We currently provide an "account_by_email" method, but consumer sites often start off by having the OpenID identifier, not an email, for a user.

An account_by_openid method would be much quicker than having to validate a token for the user (if you even have one), instantiate a new service root with an oauth authorizer and calling the me() method, which is our only current option.
