app type extended_authentication

[ArtificialOwl]

globalsiteselector is a single app used in globalscale that redirect users and/or sessions from one instance (master) to another (slaves) while working with local account, ldap, sso and saml.

Some use-cases:

• when using SAML, then authentication of the user is done on the master, a session is opened on the assigned slave and user is redirected. In that case, the globalsiteselector will comes with its own UserBackend that needs to be loaded soon enough in the process.
• on some OCS API Request, the globalsiteselector app must be loaded before the files app
• when using LDAP, the authentication is done on the slave. Based on the userid, the master will create a token with uid/password and redirect the user to the assigned slave. The slave will perform the authentication and user_ldap needs to be loaded before globalsiteselector

In conclusion, globalsiteselector needs to be loaded once all apps type=authentication are loaded and before type=filesystem

This fix creates a new type of apps for globalsiteselector that is loaded right after authentication.

Please add new type also to resources/app-info.xsd and resources/app-info-shipped.xsd (this will need a PR to the appstore as well)

Unsure about the name, it is not saying much, however to my mind nothing great is coming either. I could think of umbrella_authentication or catchall_authentication or supre_authentication but it is not necessarily better, latter might be confusing even. So, wording not a blocker, but open for improvements.

good luck with that :-D
extended_authentication already took me a while. But the more I see it, the more it makes sense for me (from the globalsiteselector point of view).

done and squashed
