Cleanups and additions to the module API

Add some useful things, such as error types and logcontext handling, to the
API.

Make `hs` a private member to dissuade people from using it (hopefully
they aren't already).

Add a couple of new methods (`record_user_external_id` and
`generate_short_term_login_token`).
