Authentication overview page

[wbamberg]

This is a top-level page for the new authentication docs, reflecting https://docs.google.com/document/d/1miZbXVjs070J2HH0rsDxqPnUaqNtPP51Uo8d4FU6PTk/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.kbs51irq6pyz, more or less.

It's basically a landing page: that is, a navigational aid for people to reach the other pages we're going to write, and to put them in context. I expect we might want to expand it as/when we decide we want to add new pages, but at the moment it just assumes 5 subpages: one for each authentication method covered+1 for session management.

Anyway, it's enough for now, to provide some structure for the pages on authentication methods, which we're planning to write next.

@martinakraus , I would be happy for you to take a look at this and the other authentication PRs that will be coming, if you would like to :).
