BackendApplicationClient can't be used since it's not using parse_request_body_response correctly about requests-oauthlib

I'd be happy to get into this a bit, if no one is working on it. Need this for something I'm working on at the moment.

It seems that my server wasn't returning token_type as part of the response. So this issue should turn into "Add a clearer missing token type error message".

@thedrow Thanks for the update. Looking at this, I'm not sure that any work really needs to be done here. It seems to me that raising MissingTokenTypeError is pretty clear about what went wrong. What's more, that is actually the behavior of oauthlib, so it's not particularly suitable for requests-oauthlib to address the issue.

I propose we close this issue.

I had to print the response to figure this out. It wasn't easy and it took me about an hour and a half to debug this.
The only thing that should be done is to provide a better error message.

Even so, that is an issue for oauthlib, not requests-oauthlib. Look at where the exception is being raised. It's not in requests-oauthlib code. If simply raising MissingTokenTypeError is not enough, I think that is an issue for oauthlib to address, rather than adding code to raise a new exception to say essentially the same thing in requests-oauthlib.

@thedrow @nicksloan better error messages are always nice whichever repo, will open a little todo on oauthlib to look into this.
