Peter Hamilton 98f5ba39e3 Add an authentication plugin framework
This change adds an authentication plugin framework to be used by
the PyKMIP server. This framework will allow the server to query
third-party authentication systems for user identity information,
improving the access control model for the server. The initial
plugin provided queries an instance of the new SLUGS library.
