Public bug reported:

This was discussed in the 50th developer meeting:
http://meetbot.mahara.org/mahara-dev/2016/mahara-
dev.2016-02-02-07.34.log.html#l-350

We decided to disable Persona authentication on new instances and
provide admins with a warning / pop-up / modal when they click the
"Show" button to let them know that Mozilla is going to end the support
at the end of November 2016.

For any instances upgrading to Mahara 16.04, we will check if Persona
authentication has been used. If no institution used it, Persona
authentication will be disabled. If a site admin tries to enable it
again, they would get the above message.

Deprecation of Persona auth itself is handled on bug #1533377.
