PHPDoc (of the public API) says that this method returns string but it also returns null, which is not allowed in some method calls. This fixes that behaviour and returns an empty string and fixes all code paths that explicitly checked for null to be still compliant.
Found while enabling the strict_typing for lib/private for the PHP7+ migration.

This implements the basics for the new app-password based authentication flow for our clients.
The current implementation tries to keep it as simple as possible and works the following way:
1. Unauthenticated client opens `/index.php/login/flow`
2. User will be asked whether they want to grant access to the client
3. If accepted the user has the chance to do so using existing App Token or automatically generate an app password.
If the user chooses to use an existing app token then that one will simply be redirected to the `nc://` protocol handler.
While we can improve on that in the future, I think keeping this smaller at the moment has its advantages. Also, in the
near future we have to think about an automatic migration endpoint so there's that anyways :-)
If the user chooses to use the regular login the following happens:
1. A session state token is written to the session
2. User is redirected to the login page
3. If successfully authenticated they will be redirected to a page redirecting to the POST controller
4. The POST controller will check if the CSRF token as well as the state token is correct, if yes the user will be redirected to the `nc://` protocol handler.
This approach is quite simple but also allows to be extended in the future. One could for example allow external websites to consume this authentication endpoint as well.
