Authenticate front-end methods

Preliminary list of possible front-end methods to authenticate users.

• For now https://obs.sugarlabs.org requires Basic HTTP Auth.
• CAS, most regular way with a need to provide login/password, useful for people who are out of Sugar Sehll (and certificate based method does not work implicitly).
• Using users certificates, useful for people who need to be authenticated from Sugar Shell when Sugar might do some routines under the hood.
