Update SemanticSignup to use AuthManager (MW 1.27+)

[kghbln]

This extension is also affected by the AuthManager. A respective task was created at Phabricator.

See also this related comment so this extension is definitively broken for MW 1.27+. Probably "composer.json" should be adapted accordingly for now.

So things are probably not as bad as anticipated.

Isn't the fix for this bug as simple as modifying src/SpecialSemanticSignup.php to reflect the changes in $wgAuth and AuthPlugin? This does not seem so difficult to "translate" from the old syntax to this new one, so I'm a bit hesitant to perform these conversions myself, considering this bug has been open for quite a while already without anyone doing this seemingly simple task of performing conversions to the new syntax.

If this is indeed the fix for this bug, I'd be willing to go through each of the changes. I still would not be able to test its effectiveness in MW1.27+ though, because of bug #30.

To my experience simple conversions end up in disaster so I do not dare to try doing this. Mixing in #30 indeed complicates the whole process. Both tasks are up for grabs.

@Joeytje50 Give it a shot if you think you can do it.

I'm not up to speed as to what PF requires but it seems @gesinn-it has an understanding of what makes something PF compliant.

Is there any update to this? Would love to use SSU on my site.
