[OpenID] choosing endpoint after performing discovery on claimed_id from response

[James Tindall]

Ah, to answer my own (silly?) question - If running in stateless mode
then association would not have been even attempted - so the RP should
be fairly confident that the endpoint to choose is the first in the
priority list?
