Feature Proposal: Deprecate ApacheHtpasswd Module
Motivation
its ancient and we don't maintain it well enough to keep releasing it
Description and Documentation
in 1.2.0 deprecate it by adding a deprecation message into configure, and possible by using the
UpdatesPlugin message functionality
then in 2.0, make that module a shim that loads
HtPasswdUser, and then in 2.2, remove it entirely

Do it. It was only ever there as a demonstrator.

From Foswiki 1.1.3 and on, the
PasswordManager checker has had a warning recommending that
ApacheHtpasswdUser not be used. So hopefully deprecation would not be a surprise.
