[feature/auth-refactor] Document the provider interface
Provides basic documentation of the auth_provideR_interface. Changes the login method to login($username, $password) for consistency with the providers. acp() is not fully documented. It appears that it is meant to return an array of some sort and take in a variable by reference. PHPBB3-9734
