[keycloak-user] UI for custom providers

[Bill Burke]

There's 2 types of configuration:

* Config for the ProviderFactory.  This is for the entire Keycloak 
instance.  We do not support configuring this through admin console as 
this configuration applies to ALL REALMS managed by the keycloak server.

* Config for Provider instances created.  This depends on the provider.

These SPIs can generically render configuration for Provider instances 
in the admin console:

* User Storage SPI

* Mapper SPIs (broker and clients)

* Authentication SPI config

* Key management

Unfortunately, they all use a little bit different mechanism. User 
Storage SPI and Key management SPI do use the new Component SPI.  Other 
SPIs will eventually be ported to use the generic mechanism.
