Add basic login functionality

[lukeyeager]

Close #201

• Login does not require password (not solving Digits UI with Authentication #407)
• Adds login info to the navbar
• Requires login before creating a new Job
• Only the original creator can abort/edit/delete a Job

TODO after merge

• Sort/filter by username in model browser at /models
• Show only the current user's jobs on the homepage

What are you doing with existing jobs?

What are you doing with existing jobs?

They are marked with job.username=None. Any logged in user can edit/delete them.

Perfect

Need to fix the test suite before merging...

How do I clone the repository to get this functionality or enable it? I've already cloned the master expecting it would be there.

@iwalkdaline this is an unmerged pull request - it hasn't been merged into master yet. You should probably just wait until we merge it.

If you really want to try it out for some reason, the git commands would be something like this:

git remote add lukeyeager https://github.com/lukeyeager/DIGITS.git
git remote update
git checkout lukeyeager/login

[iwalkdaline]

We really want some form of authentication on our server. I was pursuing a
SSL approach with a self-signed certificate but that required slightly more
work than I anticipated. As this is implemented, I would proceed with it
unless there's some corner case I should be aware of.

Update on this - I had to remove all the Flask-Autodoc stuff in order to add custom route decorators.

I suspect nobody was using the auto-generated documentation anyway. If so, we'll find a way to add it back in somehow.

@iwalkdaline I'm going to merge this as-is. We're not going to address authentication in DIGITS for now, but the scaffolding that I'm putting in place with this PR should make it easier for you to modify DIGITS to add authentication on your own.

Please feel free to upvote (:+1:) #407 if you like.

[iwalkdaline]

I see. Also, I'm trying to add a password field and I think this will
address my needs but not sure of the data flow here. Seems I might need to

1. add it webapp.py (in username decorator or a new decorator)
2. add it to auth.py to verify the password
3. modify views.py

I've tried so far but get the error that password isn't defined globally.
