Spun off from #1397956: Automatic usage of all available command plugins

I should consider whether Authentication and Command plugins should be combined, since the end-effect is the same. The only difference is that authenticating command plugins would need to run before (i.e. have a lower weight than) all other command plugins, and throw exceptions to stop processing if necessary.

Actually I don't think this makes sense... if all authentication plugins run automatically, like commands, then how can a user enable or disable certain authentication plugins per-importer?

Actually this *might* make sense in the future, but only if authentication and authorization are performed AFTER the uid is mapped in the Node / Comment processor... I'll have to think about whether that makes sense...
