Josh Elser bef1eb33f4 HBASE-23347 Allow custom authentication methods for RPCs
Decouple the HBase internals such that someone can implement
their own SASL-based authentication mechanism and plug it into
HBase RegionServers/Masters.

Comes with a design doc in dev-support/design-docs and an example in
hbase-examples known as "Shade" which uses a flat-password file
for authenticating users.

Closes #884

README.txt

This directory hosts design docs and proposals. Add here final
or near-final writeups so they are easy to find and part of
the code base.

Be warned that final delivery may not be a perfect reflection
of what is captured at design time; implementation bends as
it encounters hurdles not conceptualized at design-time.

The effort at capturing all design in a single directory ratherthan spread
about JIRA as attachments was begun in September of 2017.
