Org invite links

[bkeepers]

Like @benbalter's https://github.com/benbalter/add-to-org, but as a GitHub App.

Once installed on an organization, an org admin can go to the app and fill out a form to create custom invite links for the organization.

The form could include options like:

• Who can use this link?
  • Anyone
  • Anyone with a foobar.com email address
  • Anyone that's a member of @org/team (requires this app to be installed)
• How long is the link valid?
  • Forever
  • 1 week
  • 1 month
  • 1 year
• Add new members to: [select team]

The app could use jsonwebtoken to encode all the configuration options using the app's private key. The encoded token could be used in a URL and shared to allow self-serve access to an organization.

When a user visits that URL, they will OAuth, and then the app can decode the JSON web token and do its thing.

That's a neat idea - its predicated on OAuth login (of course, you could write that all yourself but really it should be built into Probot)

@bkeepers @JasonEtco Can I take it up as part of GSoC?
