Add a features table for all the different authentication packages

[SuperDJ]

To help users make a decision on which authentication package to choose it would help to have a features table in the docs. Since there are so many authentication packages available now it would ease the decision making.

Example:

Feature	UI	Breeze	Passport	Fortify	Jetstream
API support	-	-	-	x	x
Password reset	x	-	-	-	-

etc.

Yes, please. It's very confusing to compare one with the others and to actually pick a package.

@rvanbaalen from what I understand

• Laravel UI
  • "Old"/ legacy authentication package.
  • Login
  • Registration
  • Email validation
  • Bootstrap for UI
• Fortify
  • New "basic" authentication package
  • Login
  • Registration
  • Email verification
  • Password confirmation
  • Password rest
  • 2FA
  • No UI so no need to override it either
• Breeze
  • Replacement of Laravel UI
  • Login
  • Registration
  • Password reset
  • Email verification
  • Password confirmation
  • Tailwind for UI
• Sanctum
  • Basic API-authentication
  • For SPA
• Passport
  • Extended API-authentication
  • OAuth support
  • Service-to-service/ machine-to-machine support
• Jetsream
  • Uses Fortify under the hood so all of those functions
  • Uses Sanctum under the hood so all of those function
  • Uses Tailwind with Livewire or Tailwind with Inertia and Vue for UI
  • Includes teams support. This could be included in the other packages with a package like Spatie permissions

These aren't all features of the packages but I hope I have made the differences a bit clearer.
