Shib end to end test

[Laas Toom]

I have written a naive shell script to test our setup at University of Tartu (Shibboleth SPs and SimpleSAMLphp IdPs).
The script has Nagios compatible exit statuses and will issue a WARNING if otherwise successful roundtrip took too long.

I tried not to make any assumptions on the setup, but probably there are some (starting with the nasty regexes that are somewhat specific to our theming), but overall this should be applicable to other setups too.
It should not depend on anything special besides standard *NIX tools, perhaps only curl that you may have to install separately.
