This functionality will need to be backported to the older versions of
Mahara. If this is too big a change to include in a minor point release,
we should provide the patches as people on supported versions would need
to move away from Persona as well.

Title:
Remove Persona (browserid) auth plugin by Nov 2016, because Mozilla is
ending Persona support

Bug description:
Mozilla has recently announced that they're ending support for the
Persona authentication service, in November 2016.:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_Shutdown_Guidelines_for_Reliers
Mahara has long shipped with a Persona (formerly "Browserid") auth
plugin. We'll need to remove this plugin from the 16.10 release, and
come up with a way to help existing sites migrate their users away
from Persona.
We should also consider how to help out the stable release sites in
migrating users away from Persona. The Nov 2016 shutdown will be very
close to the 16.10 release date, so asking sites to upgrade to 16.10
to use any migration tool will be fairly demanding, particularly since
15.04 will still be covered by its extended support lifetime. So for
15.04, 15.10, and 16.04 sites, an optional Persona migration plugin is
probably the best option. That way the functionality will be available
to sites that need it, without shipping new features in minor
upgrades.
