In the pre & post auth hooks (_horde_hook_preauthenticate,
_horde_hook_postauthenticate), it is impossible to specify a custom error
message to be displayed to the user for login failures.  This is because the
true/false return of the hook is used to simply generate the generic login
failure error message.

It would be nice to be able to specify a custom error message for all hooks,
and the attached patch allows for such a feature in at least the pre/post
auth hooks.

However, I would highly recommend the patch be used simply as an idea - it
generates low level warning messages sometimes when the
$GLOBALS['__autherror'] array does not exist (querying a non-existant key
name), and also hard codes the $GLOBALS['__autherror'] array in a place
where an abstraction function to access such info should really be used.
