plugin initialization error without users.auth.php file

[glensc]

seems the oauth plugin extends authplain and requires conf/users.auth.php file to be present otherwise it ends up with cryptic message "User authentication is temporarily unavailable. If this situation persists, please inform your Wiki Admin." and no details or errors anywhere.

it's because $auth->success check:

• https://github.com/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/blob/91a25860ebdf15b20aa33b98d798cd0c04851206/inc/auth.php#L57-L63

which gets set to false in case the file is missing:

• https://github.com/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/blob/91a25860ebdf15b20aa33b98d798cd0c04851206/lib/plugins/authplain/auth.php#L38-L39

and nothing resets it in the construct:

• dokuwiki-plugin-oauth/auth.php

  Lines 24 to 30 in 05d2931

  	/** @inheritDoc */
  	public function __construct()
  	{
  	parent::__construct();
  	$this->cando['external'] = true;
  	$this->hlp = $this->loadHelper('oauth');
  	}

Yes, I failed with that message, too.
