AbstractLoginModule: get rid of trust_credentials_attribute
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-3294
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3294
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jackrabbit-core
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: angela


based on JCR 2355 we added a very simplistic way to indicate to the login module that the given credentials have
been preauthenticated. as already stated in the original issue this poses a major security issue as it leaves the
repository access untrusted.

i would like to raise those security concern again and would therefore like to get rid of that hack in the long run.
the suggested procedure:

- deprecate the attribute (immediately)
- log a warning if it is used (immediately)
- document how to fix code that is currently relying on that attribute
- remove support altogether for the next major release
