MINOR: Use SecurityProtocol in AuthenticationContext Since we removed the unused `TRACE` option from `SecurityProtocol`, it now seems safer to expose it from `AuthenticationContext`. Additionally this patch exposes javadocs under security.auth and relocates the `Login` and `AuthCallbackHandler` to a non-public package.
