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.

Robin McCorkell 37beb58c6f Introduce BackendService for managing external storage backends
Backends are registered to the BackendService through new data
structures:

Backends are concrete classes, deriving from
\OCA\Files_External\Lib\Backend\Backend. During construction, the
various configuration parameters of the Backend can be set, in a design
similar to Symfony Console.

DefinitionParameter stores a parameter configuration for an external
storage: name of parameter, human-readable name, type of parameter
(text, password, hidden, checkbox), flags (optional or not).

Storages in the StoragesController now get their parameters validated
server-side (fixes a TODO).

Vincent Petry 34c8b1ac77 Mount options for ext storage are now passed around
The mount options are now passed to the UI and stored in a hidden field.
The ext storage controllers and services also know how to load/save them
from the legacy config.

Vincent Petry ce94a998dd Use storage id + appframework for ext storage CRUD
- Added StorageConfig class to replace ugly arrays
- Implemented StorageService and StorageController for Global and User
  storages
- Async status checking for storages (from Xenopathic)
- Auto-generate id for external storage configs (not the same as
  storage_id)
- Refactor JS classes for external storage settings, this mostly
  moves/encapsulated existing global event handlers into the
  MountConfigListView class.
- Added some JS unit tests for the external storage UI
