Title: Support error handling in RequestSecurityToken extension
mechanism

Description:

The extension mechanism in the RequestSecurityToken and the
RequestSecurityTokenResponse require the recipient fault if an attribute
or an element is found that is not understood.   The recipient can be
required to return the attribute(s) or element(s) that it doesn't
understand in defined format in the fault message.  The error
information can help cross vendor interoperability and even among
different versions of the same vendor implementation.  An implementation
potentially can fall back to a mode of operation that does not use new
extensions.

Proposed Solution:  The recipient returns attribute name(s) and element
name(s) that it doesn't understand in the fault message.
