Acts as Authentable plugin

Plugin details

Largely based on restful_authentication by Rick Olson. Changes include:

* Bcrypt is used for password storage.
* Specified with RSpec.
* Authentication mechanisms are seperated into modules contained within the plugin.
* Generators are only used for migrations.
* Does not include email verification.

This plugin does not generate controller code for you. Partly because I'm lazy and partly since example code (taken from restful_authentication) can be found in the resources directory of the plugins spec folder.
