targeted to b/c/d/e, although all my initial work is on e only.  It
includes a large amount of refactoring that I don't think is appropriate
to sru back, so b/c/d would get a much smaller update - if at all.

one note on this - when a private ppa is removed, the auth file is not
currently removed, i don't have the code removing it, but probably it
should be; i'll look at adding that.

have not implemented this yet; however add-apt-repository does support
providing a full sources.list line, so it could be called one-line-
at-a-time.  however, the way just drops the line directly into the main
sources.list file, and doesn't parse out the login:password to put into
an auth.conf.d/ file.

have not implemented this yet

Bug description:
  Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
  adding private PPAs.

  software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
  permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
  API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
  you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
  possible for it to get the password etc.
