[PATCH/RFC V3 00/13] Fix authgroup selection in XML POST mode

This is my third attempt at addressing the various authgroup selection
issues involving XML POST[1] and second-auth[2].  The basic idea is that
whenever the user changes the selected authgroup (whose name is passed
to the UI via oc_auth_form->authgroup_field), the process_auth_form
callback returns back to libopenconnect with a special status code, and
allows the library to construct a new form.  In XML POST mode this
results in a new POST to the gateway (and probably a new <opaque> data
blob); in second-auth mode the form fields are manipulated locally.

The changes are intended to be mostly backward compatible.  The only
incompatible change is that opt->value is prepopulated if
secondary_username is marked editable, as the Cisco clients do allow
the server to specify the initial value for this field.  Library
users that do not know about this may overwrite the pointer (leaking
memory) and will probably ignore the prepopulated value.  Also, users
that do not know about the API change will still not be able to handle
authgroup changes properly.

This has been lightly tested with network-manager-openconnect and the
command-line client.
