I want to add two optional features to horde_auth:

1) A field and method to signal an account has been disabled  
permanently or temporarily for some reason. (see 2)
2) A field and method for keeping track of the number of bad login attempts.

Both should only affect drivers which implement it and only if  
requested. The default should be that the count of bad logins should  
have no effect, since this could be considered a DoS-able trap. This  
feature should not BC of the API.

Reason: Request on the list for suspendable account and interest in  
this feature by myself.
