Allow authentication credentials to be specified in the configuration file `[Remy Blank]`.

The credentials are added to the `[authentication]` section:
{{{
[authentication]
username=myusername
password=mypassword
}}}

The authentication key is removed from the configuration file when the information has been extracted,
so that it doesn't get sent over the network or logged.
