[keycloak-dev] Authentication flows - follow-up tasks and usability improvements

An action doesn't just have to be a required action set on the user
anymore. We have support for AIA (application initiated actions, where an
application can request the user to complete an action) as well as actions
themselves can encode logic on when they should execute.

The above doesn't help with the case you are mentioning though with
allowing a user to select between different actions where they are required
to enable two-factor authentication, but have options on what to implement.
That is something we have to figure out pretty soon. My 2 cents on it is
that we need an action that can list the options to the user. Not sure how
exactly that should look like though and how it should be wired in with the
code.
