Associate requests using 1.x or compatibility mode fail

Project:OpenID Provider
Version:6.x-1.x-dev

Priority:normal

Issue Summary

The POSTed data in this kind of request looks like this:

openid.assoc_type=HMAC-SHA1
openid.mode=associate

In a 2.x request, the request would contain these 2 additional key-value pairs:
openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0
openid.session_type=no-encryption

The lack of those 2 pairs appear to cause the provider code to return invalid responses to the RP.

More specifically, if this module does not intend to support compatibility mode or the 1.x protocol (a reasonable decision), it should return sane values for requests made using compatibility mode, since the RP using it almost surely supports both 1.x and 2.x, or it would simply use the only version it supports. :-)

yeah, there's nothing implementing compat mode (yet)... marking this as a task and claiming.
