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.

PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP), an `OASIS`_ communication standard for the management of
objects stored and maintained by key management systems. KMIP defines how key
management operations and operation data should be encoded and communicated
between client and server applications. Supported operations include the full
`CRUD`_ key management lifecycle, including operations for managing object
metadata and for conducting cryptographic operations. Supported object types
include:

* symmetric/asymmetric encryption keys
* passwords/passphrases
* certificates
* opaque data blobs, and more

For more information on KMIP, check out the `OASIS KMIP Technical Committee`_
and the `OASIS KMIP Documentation`_.
