External identity provider reform (part 2)

Use the external identity provider for refresh of logins. When a user
is logged in via an external identity provider, use the same identity
provider for a refresh when it expires. The expiration time is
controlled via the classical OpenACS parameters.

Note that in general, the same user might be authenticated via a
classical OpenACS authority (e.g. local authority) and/or via an
external one (e.g. Microsoft Identity Platform (Azure) or GitHub).
For single-sign-ons, when the token is still valid, the redirect to
the external identity provider does not mean necessarily that the use
is shown the external identity provider's login page.
