[feat][broker] Update AuthenticationProvider to simplify HTTP Authn (a…

…pache#19197)

PIP: apache#12105 

### Motivation

This is the first of several PRs to implement [PIP 97](apache#12105).

This PR seeks to start to solve the fact that the `AuthenticationState` class currently authenticates `authData` twice instead of just once. This change is important to make before we are able to utilize the async methods introduced in apache#12104.

Historical context: apache#14044 introduced the `AuthenticationProvider#newHttpAuthState`  method. The only use case for this method in the pulsar code base is to let custom providers specify the `AuthenticationDataSource` on http request attributes. The primary problem with that implementation is that the `AuthenticationState` class currently involves authenticating the `authData` passed in to the `newHttpAuthState`. As such, this code is sub-optimal, and creates a confusing flow.

I propose we deprecate the `newHttpAuthState` method and instead start using the `authenticateHttpRequestAsync` and `authenticateHttpRequest` methods to allow custom implementations to configure the desired `AuthenticationDataSource` on the request attributes.

In order to simplify the diff for reviewers, this PR uses the deprecated `AuthenticationProvider#authenticateHttpRequest` method. I plan to follow up and switch to use the `AuthenticationProvider#authenticateHttpRequestAsync` method.

Note that these changes are completely backwards compatible. The only risk is to users that have custom code loaded into the broker that calls the `AuthenticationProvider#authenticateHttpRequest` method.

### Modifications

* Deprecate `AuthenticationService#authenticateHttpRequest(HttpServletRequest request, AuthenticationDataSource authData)`. It is no longer used.
* Deprecate `AuthenticationProvider#newHttpAuthState(HttpServletRequest request)`. It is no longer used outside of the `AuthenticationProvider` interface itself.
* Remove `@InterfaceStability.Unstable` annotation from the `authenticateHttpRequestAsync` method. When I introduced that annotation, I was under the impression that we didn't need it. However, in order to meet the requirements introduced in apache#14044, we need to let custom `AuthenticationProviders` add their own attributes.
* Update the default implementation of `authenticateHttpRequest`. Because the previous implementation was unreachable by all auth providers except for the SASL implementation, this is a backwards compatible change.
* Implement changes for the `AuthenticationProviderToken` so that it no longer relies on `newHttpAuthState`.

### Verifying this change

I added new tests.

### Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts:

- [x] The public API

This changes the public API within the broker by marking some methods as `@Deprecated`.

### Documentation

- [x] `doc-not-needed`

We document the `AuthenticationProvider` interface in the code. I added these docs. There is currently no where else to update docs.

### Matching PR in forked repository

PR in forked repository: #12

### Additional motivation from PR discussion

My primary motivation for this PR is to implement PIP 97. If we want authentication to be asynchronous, we cannot assume that when the `AuthenticationState` object is initialized, the `authenticationDataSource` and the `authRole` are present because the authentication might not yet be completed. My goal with this PR is to break an unnecessary relationship between `AuthenticationState` and http request authentication that was created by apache#14044.
