Support for authentication in ftpd

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

 Hoi all,

 I finally got around to preparing the patches for adding authentication to 
ftpd.  I did use the rtems_shell_login_check_t function after all.

 Attached are two patches.  The first one just adds the authentication hook 
and only gives access when authentication succeeds.  The second one does the 
same, but adds another hook that allows you to define access permissions per 
(file,user) combination.

 Comments are welcome.

 Regards,
 Arnout
