Support for authentication

 
WarningAuthentication is currently only supported for XWiki with a specific setup.
Nextcloud uses hardcoded test:test credentials for testing purpose, until authentication for the Nextcloud backend is implemented.

Authenticating is now possible, meaning that interactions with the backend are done with a specific user when the backend supports it.

Page and attachments can be distinguished by icons prefixing the results in the link suggestion results.
