SharePoint OAuth2 Client Credentials Authentication

Demonstrates how to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 using the client credentials grant type. This is for SharePoint Online which is the cloud-based service provided by Microsoft as part of Office 365. (Users access SharePoint Online through a web browser, and the service is hosted on Microsoft's servers.) C++
