[OpenID] MyOpenID's PAPE implementation doesn't honour max_auth_age

Thanks Craig,

I will talk to them about it.   max_auth_age has not been well  
supported by OP's honestly none of PAPE has.

We require working PAPE including max_auth_age for the ICAM profile of  
openID.

That has motivated a number of OP's to implement it.

MyOpenID has not been participating in the pilot so this hasn't gotten  
much scrutiny.

At the end of the day without the IdP conforming to some known  
profile, the PAPE assertions aren't worth much.
