The auth_x protocol implements support for a kerberos-like mutual
authentication infrastructure used by Ceph. We do not simply use vanilla
kerberos because of scalability and performance issues when dealing with
a large cluster of nodes providing a single logical service.
Auth_x provides mutual authentication of client and server and protects
against replay and man in the middle attacks. It does not encrypt
the full session over the wire, however, so data payload may still be
snooped.

Add infrastructure to allow the mon_client to periodically renew its auth
credentials. Also add a messenger callback that will force such a renewal
if a peer rejects our authenticator.

When we open a monitor session, we send an initial AUTH message listing
the auth protocols we support, our entity name, and (possibly) a previously
assigned global_id. The monitor chooses a protocol and responds with an
initial message.
Initially implement AUTH_NONE, a dummy protocol that provides no security,
but works within the new framework. It generates 'authorizers' that are
used when connecting to (mds, osd) services that simply state our entity
name and global_id.
This is a wire protocol change.
