Allow access to the list of Authentication Providers [#2062359]

If we change the access modifier of AuthenticationManager::getSortedProviders() from private to public, we will allow other modules to obtain the list of available authentication methods.

I am building a UI to configure REST services through the user interface, and need to list the available authentication methods when a resource is checked.

That is a reasonable request and I do not see why we should hide this list from modules.

I set this to feature request for I do not consider this a bug but set it to major for it is blocking module development.

I normal bug has a much higher chance of getting committed than a major feature, let's leave it at that. Or task, if you prefer that. Either way, I don't think this needs to be held up by our thresholds.
