Robin McCorkell 060d169615 Add deprecation mechanic to IdentifierTrait
Deprecation allows a backend/auth mechanism to designate an object that
it deprecates to, allowing clean transitions to updated codebases.

Robin McCorkell cc88c5f4b8 Implement more fine-grained external storage permissions model
VisibilityTrait -> PermissionsTrait

PermissionsTrait stores two sets of data, $permissions and
$allowedPermissions (analogous to $visibility and $allowedVisibility of
VisibilityTrait). Each set is a map of user type ('admin' or 'personal')
to permissions (mounting permission, create permission).

The result is that a backend can now be restricted for creation, while
still allowing it to be mounted. This is useful for deprecating backends
or auth mechanisms, preventing new storages being created, while still
allowing existing storages to be mounted.

Robin McCorkell 97dbc79c16 Compatibility shims for OC_Mount_Config
The following functions have been removed:
 - addMountPoint()
 - removeMountPoint()
 - movePersonalMountPoint()

registerBackend() has been rewritten as a shim around BackendService,
allowing legacy code to interact with the new API seamlessly

addMountPoint() was already disconnected from all production code, so
this commit completes the job and removes the function itself, along
with disconnecting and removing related functions. Unit tests have
likewise been removed.

getAbsoluteMountPoints(), getSystemMountPoints() and
getPersonalMountPoints() have been rewritten to use the StoragesServices

Robin McCorkell 1eeca031f8 Split backend identifiers from the class name
Prior to this, the storage class name was stored in mount.json under the
"class" parameter, and the auth mechanism class name under the
"authMechanism" parameter. This decouples the class name from the
identifier used to retrieve the backend or auth mechanism.

Now, backends/auth mechanisms have a unique identifier, which is saved in
the "backend" or "authMechanism" parameter in mount.json respectively.
An identifier is considered unique for the object it references, but the
underlying class may change (e.g. files_external gets pulled into core
and namespaces are modified).

Robin McCorkell 272a46ebe1 Authentication mechanisms for external storage backends
A backend can now specify generic authentication schemes that it
supports, instead of specifying the parameters for its authentication
method directly. This allows multiple authentication mechanisms to be
implemented for a single scheme, providing altered functionality.

This commit introduces the backend framework for this feature, and so at
this point the UI will be broken as the frontend does not specify the
required information.

Terminology:
 - authentication scheme
    Parameter interface for the authentication method. A backend
    supporting the 'password' scheme accepts two parameters, 'user' and
    'password'.
 - authentication mechanism
    Specific mechanism implementing a scheme. Basic mechanisms may
    forward configuration options directly to the backend, more advanced
    ones may lookup parameters or retrieve them from the session

New dropdown selector for external storage configurations to select the
authentication mechanism to be used.

Authentication mechanisms can have visibilities, just like backends.
The API was extended too to make it easier to add/remove visibilities.
In addition, the concept of 'allowed visibility' has been introduced, so
a backend/auth mechanism can force a maximum visibility level (e.g.
Local storage type) that cannot be overridden by configuration in the
web UI.

An authentication mechanism is a fully instantiated implementation. This
allows an implementation to have dependencies injected into it, e.g. an
\OCP\IDB for database operations.

When a StorageConfig is being prepared for mounting, the authentication
mechanism implementation has manipulateStorage() called,
which inserts the relevant authentication method options into the
storage ready for mounting.
