Public bug reported:
If we have an auth instance in Mahara that needs to talk to a thirdparty
site and the connection can't be made then it slows down the login for
all institutions on the site.
Currently the only way to deal with this is to move users off the badly
functioning auth to another auth (like internal) and then delete the bad
auth.
What we really need to have is the ability to switch off an auth
instance to stop it causing problems and when the problems for it are
fixed then turn it back on again.
I'm envisaging that we add an 'active' column to the auth_instance table
so that every instance can be on/off (0/1).
Then for our db calls to auth things check that the auth_instance is
active as well as checking that auth is asctive.
