    Add reCAPTCHA support to Review Board.
    
    This change introduces optional support for captchas during the registration
    process. reCAPTCHA is used for this, as it's pretty wide-spread, maintained,
    has both visual and audio versions, works with or without JavaScript, and
    has a nice side-effect of helping to scan old books.
    
    Users can register accounts on http://www.recaptcha.net and enable captcha
    support in the admin UI with the public and private keys provided on the
    site.
    
    This also splits off all the authentication-related settings into a dedicated
    Authentication settings page.
    
    Docs have been updated to talk about the new page and the captchas.
    Tested the following scenarios:
    
    * Registration without a captcha
    * Registration with a captcha and a wrong answer
    * Registration with a captcha and a right answer
