As a user, I would like additional login providers

Recieved this email today:

"Dear PingthePeople authors:

I don't do facebook or google. I have yahoo as my email communicator. Please add yahoo."

This is doable (the Socialite package supports a whole bunch of providers), but I think we have two options to accommodate this: 1) add the yahoo provider, and be prepared to add other providers as they're requested. We could add additional login buttons to the footer, or have a dropdown with all "other" providers in the header. I'm hesitant to put buttons for every provider in the header. 2) add the ability to create accounts with an email and password. Laravel has the scaffolding for most of this built in (including things like "forgotten password" emails), it should just be a matter of customizing a few forms. It will take longer to set up than another login provider, but may be easier than maintaining tons of providers in the long run, and will catch all cases, even people with an @aol.com address and no social media accounts.

• add yahoo as a log in provider
• add the option to create an account with your email and a password
• remember login provider used

Probably should just add an option for custom username/password. Yahoo seems like it'd be a small audience at this point. But I think we should consider adding the username/pass combo soon.
