change (experimental) pushed

suggested functionality:  Mahara should only display a remoteuser value
if the selected authplugin (in the Authentication method dropdown) is
not '... internal'.

If the Authentication method is external then some javascript displays the 'Username for external authentication' field - which will contain the remote username if set.
Only institutions' for which the user is a member will have their authentication methods shown

The 'Username for external authentication' help has been updated

Title:
  Don't display a remote username on /admin/users/edit.php if no remote
  username exists

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Per default, Mahara displays the "Username for external
  authentication" on the user account admin page no matter whether the
  account has actually set a remoteuser value or not. This is confusing
  when you want to check if an auth instance works correctly because you
  will have to check the database (in 2 different places) or at least do
  a user report which pulls the remotuser value from the "correct" DB
  table.

  Mahara should only display a remoteuser if it really exists.
