WHAT is this pull request doing?
This is a preparatory step towards introducing multiple authentication backends, which can be tried and run on a chain of command. (It breaks up #861 so it dosn't become to large)
This PR introduces the basic authenticator, which entails the basic authentication method we already support.
These modules will be extended with oauth and http support in the future.
HOW can this pull request be tested?
Should probably write a spec for the chain,
but you can run the regular connect specs, and try to manually authenticate
