Support Client ID as an alternative input to Client Secret

[cloudshiftchris]

GitHub now recommends using the clientId instead of the appId/privateKey

Augment the options to allow clientId/clientSecret, validating that either this pair or appId/privateKey are provided, and pass these options along in the call to createAppAuth.

Just to clarify, you cannot use the Client Secret, the private key is still required. But the OAuth Client ID is now recommended to be used as a substitute to the numeric app ID for github.com, and probably GitHub Enterprise Server 3.14+

We just shipped support for passing the client ID to Octokit's app authentication strategy:
https://github.com/octokit/auth-app.js/releases/tag/v7.1.0

@cloudshiftchris edit title to clarify that support is sought for using clientId instead of appId?

@gr2m are you saying this is already supported via octokit/auth-app.js#606 ?

yes

So does this mean that we can pass in client ID instead of app ID, and this issue can be closed... or? @gr2m

[joebowbeer]

I think this should be closed. I have used clientId in place of appId

[gr2m]

we should document the fact that client ID can be used as an alternative to the app ID, then we can close this issue
