This is used by the Android app to authenticate without prompting for a
password.
To do so, we implement a custom authentication backend that validates
the ID token provided by Google and then tries to see if we have a
corresponding UserProfile on file for them.
If the attestation is valid but the user is unregistered, we return that
fact by modifying a dictionary passed in as a parameter. We then return
the appropriate error message via the API.
This commit adds a dependency on the "googleapi" module. On Debian-based
systems with the Zulip APT repository:
sudo apt-get install python-googleapi
For OS X and other platforms:
pip install googleapi

If authoritative data is available from say the LDAP database, we now
ignore the POSTed user name, and don't offer it as a form field.
We fall back to giving the user a text field if they aren't in LDAP.
If users do not have any form fields to fill out, we simply bring them
to the app without the registration page, logging them in using a dummy
backend.

The latter doesn't depend on the former; we can still fill in your full
name even if you didn't authenticate via LDAP.
This commit requires django_auth_ldap to be installed. On Debian
systems, you can do so via APT:
sudo apt-get install python-django-auth-ldap
On OS X, use your favourite package manager. For pip, I believe this
will work:
pip install django_auth_ldap
django_auth_ldap depends on the "ldap" Python package, which should be
installed automatically on your system.

This includes a hack to preserve humbug/backends.py as a symlink, so
that we don't need to regenerate all our old sessions.
