Subject: Don't offer password login when it is disabled (#8835)

Fix a minor bug where we would offer "m.login.password" login if a custom auth provider supported it, even if password login was disabled.

Subject: Support "identifier" dicts in UIA (#8848)

The spec requires synapse to support `identifier` dicts for `m.login.password`
user-interactive auth, which it did not (instead, it required an undocumented
`user` parameter.)

To fix this properly, we need to pull the code that interprets `identifier`
into `AuthHandler.validate_login` so that it can be called from the UIA code.

Fixes #5665.

Subject: Create a `PasswordProvider` wrapper object (#8849)

The idea here is to abstract out all the conditional code which tests which
methods a given password provider has, to provide a consistent interface.
