    New BrowserID auth plugin (bug #894211)
    
    Existing users can now login through BrowserID using one of their
    confirmed email addresses as long as one of the institutions they
    belong to has enabled BrowserID. We are ignoring the auth
    instance that these user accounts are tied to.
    
    Automatic creation of accounts is enabled. The only outstanding
    issue is to figure out what authinstance we should use for
    creating accounts. However that's a general problem with the
    authentication system in Mahara, it's not specific to this
    plugin. Currently, we make sure that it is an institution that:
    
    - has registrations enabled
    - is not full
    
    When an account is automatically provisioned, the username
    is set to the user's email address since that's the only piece
    of information we can reliably get from BrowserID.
