Allow adding support for sending UserAuthenticatedEvent in extensions which support XWiki versions older than 13.3RC1

Description

Allow adding support for sending UserAuthenticatedEvent in extensions which support XWiki versions older than 13.3RC1.

In general the common process would be to add it as dependency to your authenticator project:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.xwiki.contrib</groupId>
      <artifactId>userauthenticatedevent-backport</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

And then use the org.xwiki.security.authentication.UserAuthenticatedEventNotifier component:

@Inject
private UserAuthenticatedEventNotifier notifier;

public checkAuth()
{
    // Authenticate and remember the user in the session
    principal = authenticate();
    if (principal == null) {
        // Notify about this new authentication
        getNotifier().notify(principal.getName());

        return new XWikiUser(principal.getName());
    }

    return null;
}

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager).

You can also use the manual method which involves dropping the JAR file and all its dependencies into the WEB-INF/lib folder and restarting XWiki.
