Bug 1533377: Browserid end-of-life migration script

This patch removes all authentication functionality
from the browserid auth plugin. It adds a script,
accessible through the plugin's configuration page,
to migrate user accounts from browserid to
internal auth.

Also includes changes to allow users to be searched
by authtype, and to prevent non-useable plugins
from being enabled on the plugin config page.

Title:
  Remove Persona (browserid) auth plugin by Nov 2016, because Mozilla is
  ending Persona support

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Released
Status in Mahara 15.04 series:
  In Progress
Status in Mahara 15.10 series:
  Fix Committed
Status in Mahara 16.04 series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mozilla has recently announced that they're ending support for the
  Persona authentication service, in November 2016.:
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_Shutdown_Guidelines_for_Reliers

  Mahara has long shipped with a Persona (formerly "Browserid") auth
  plugin. We'll need to remove this plugin from the 16.10 release, and
  come up with a way to help existing sites migrate their users away
  from Persona.

  We should also consider how to help out the stable release sites in
  migrating users away from Persona. The Nov 2016 shutdown will be very
  close to the 16.10 release date, so asking sites to upgrade to 16.10
  to use any migration tool will be fairly demanding, particularly since
  15.04 will still be covered by its extended support lifetime. So for
  15.04, 15.10, and 16.04 sites, an optional Persona migration plugin is
  probably the best option. That way the functionality will be available
  to sites that need it, without shipping new features in minor
  upgrades.
