Authenticate to the IPP web service

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Intuit disallows this method within live applications! You can use it to
test your application, but when you go live you'll need to instead use
a SAML gateway for single-sign-on authentication. Take a look at the
QuickBooks_IPP_Federator class for a working SAML gateway.
