New User scopes

We’ve added a few new user scopes for 3rd party applications that want very
specific user functionality. The user:email scope gives apps read-only access
to a user’s private email addresses. The user:follow scope lets a user
follow and unfollow other users.
This should help keep applications from requiring the user scope, which
can be potentially dangerous.
We also added a read-only endpoint to get a user’s public SSH keys.
