Split from #1159. We should extend the socket configuration syntax to be able to configure authentication and encryption for each socket. This would get rid of a number of command line arguments (which we would keep temporarily for backwards compatibility, probably also still used by the client command line).
ie: for just authentication (replacing the tcp-auth command line option):
xpra start \ --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000,auth=file:filename=password.txt
for encryption as well:
xpra start \ --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000,encryption=AES:keyfile=key.txt,auth=file:filename=password.txt

Milestone renamed
Blocker for #2125.
work in progress patch
Done for authentication in r23895. As a side-effect, we no longer initialize the authentication modules using the config object.
New related ticket: #2424.
r24142 fixes named pipes.
Per socket encryption options done in r25202 + r25203, fixup in r25209.
ie:
xpra start --start=xterm --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000,encryption=AES,encryption-keyfile=./key.txt --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10001 -d crypto
Port 10000 uses encryption, and port 10001 does not.
See also #2460 (ssl) and #2583 (ssh).
For client connection strings, see #2794.
