Public bug reported:

The methods called for validation and submission during auth plugin
configuration and auth instance configuration have the same names, but
these methods deal with completely different fields, and are passed
arguments in a different order.

In core, this is only a problem for the saml plugin (the only auth
plugin to have global configuration), but we should give these methods
different names so that the saml plugin doesn't have to swap arguments
around, and to avoid confusion for other plugin developers.
