Add Authenticator.auto_login

Simplifies login URL, handler login

- all login redirects go to `settings['login_url']`
- `login_url` is unconditionally `/hub/login`
- `/hub/login` renders form page or 'login with...' button
- enabling auto_login redirects from /hub/login to Authenticator.login_url()
