Gabriel Hurley c339189b44 Auth refactor.
Switch to using the self-contained django_openstack_auth
package which is a proper django.contrib.auth pluggable
backend.

Notable functional improvements include:

  * Better overall security via use of standard Django
    auth code (well-vetted by security experts).
  * Token expiration checking.
  * User "enabled" attribute checking.
  * Support for full range of Django auth attributes
    such as is_anonymous, is_active, is_superuser, etc.
  * Improved hooks for RBAC/permission-based acess control.

Regarding the RBAC/permission-based access control, this
patch moves all "role" and "service"-oriented checks to
permission checks. This will make transitioning to
policy-driven checking much easier once that fully lands
in OpenStack.
