Initial external authentication support via proxy

This is the initial commit to support an authentication proxy module
to facilitate external authentication.  It is a work in progress.

What is does so far:
  - Optionally redirects all JSOPAC login requests over SSL by building
    on the 'forceLoginSSL' configuration bool (you MUST enable this
    option for proper use of the auth proxy)
  - Provides a basic plug-in framework for external authentication
    implementations, including configuration options for segregating
    authenticators based on login type or org_unit
  - Allows for multiple cascading authentication tests, including
    simultaneous support for external and internal (EG 'native')
    authentication
  - Provides a 'master switch' to easily revert to using the native EG
    authentication routines only
  - Includes an example LDAP plug-in which supports bind-style auth
    checks

Biggest outstanding known needs:
  - TTOPAC integration, including SSL redirection
  - Tying of login attempts to current brute-force prevention setup
  - Treatment of end-user 'change password' interfaces
  - Support TT/Conifer style authentication prompt

Missing but desirable feature:
  - Allow for manual selection of authenticator by end-user, including
    localization support
