This is a preparatory commit for using isort for sorting all of our
imports, merging changes to files where we can easily review the
changes as something we're happy with.
These are also files with relatively little active development, which
means we don't expect much merge conflict risk from these changes.
This makes it possible to configure only certain authentication
methods to be enabled on a per-realm basis.
Note that the authentication_methods_dict function (which checks what
backends are supported on the realm) requires an in function import
due to a circular dependency.
