Django MitID Auth

Module for authenticating against an OpenID backend and against a MitID backend, with common middleware to intercept requests, check path against a whitelist, and delegate to configured handler.

The auth mechanism is a bit different from the standard Django auth system, in that we don't leverage the User classes, but instead write relevant data directly to the session, which also determines whether a user is logged in. This means that we don't collide with standard login mechanisms (e.g. normal django username/password), and an admin of staff user that's logged in "the normal way" can also be logged in through our session, in essence faking a citizen login.

The Saml2 code borrows heavily from https://pypi.org/project/python3-saml-django/ (MIT Licensed). It does so in order to avoid using the default django auth system.
