Feature Proposal: Deprecate ApacheHtpasswd Module

Motivation

its ancient and we don't maintain it well enough to keep releasing it

Description and Documentation

in 1.2.0 deprecate it by adding a deprecation message into configure, and possible by using the UpdatesPlugin message functionality

then in 2.0, make that module a shim that loads HtPasswdUser, and then in 2.2, remove it entirely

Do it. It was only ever there as a demonstrator.

From Foswiki 1.1.3 and on, the PasswordManager checker has had a warning recommending that ApacheHtpasswdUser not be used. So hopefully deprecation would not be a surprise.
