Remove Open ID

1 Requirements

Drop support for Open-ID.

The OpenID standard was superseded by OAuth2-based authentication (like OpenID Connect - the successor of OpenID, which is based on OAuth2 and incompatible with OpenID).

I claim: There are no free + trustworthy OpenID providers and its not being used anymore. It doesn't make sense to test and maintain it anymore. We should drop it.
