Item896: Move the Password module to the right place

At present the Password.pm module is a base class, but doesn't observe the same pattern as other base classes viz it is in the Users directory.

This is mainly inertia, but also the fact that any custom password managers should be here, and are selected from this dir by configure.

Should really

• Move the Foswiki/Users/Password.pm module to Foswiki/PasswordManager.pm
• And move HtpasswdUser etc to Foswiki/PasswordManager/
• And rename 'Users/' to 'UserMappingManager/'

actually, I'm not 100% sure i agree. Foswiki::Users::Password i think is not accessed directly by Foswiki - I think i made all the calls to it go via Users.pm and the Mappers - as its not actually applicable, nor needed for many user mappers.

if I'm right, then the Passwd.pm is in the right place - its like the Store Handlers oddity.

and renaming Users really isn't worth it imo, cos it'll cause alot of people to need to re-re-re do their work.
