dfd93e7959 Fix etherpad session authentication to work in cluster setups
Etherpad uses the sessionID cookie for authorization. In cluster setups the
host part of the URI which serves the html5 frontend is different from
the hostname part of the URI which serves etherpad. Therefore the
bbb-html5 client can't set a cookie for etherpad which contains the
etherpad sessionID.

This patch uses the `ep_auth_session` etherpad plugin which takes the
`sessionID` as query parameter, sets the cookie in the browser and
redirects the iframe to the pad URI.

06397cae49 build(etherpad): forbid userName argument
Since bbb-pads user's name is set internally by akka-apps and bbb-pads internal
credentials exchange. Yet, Etherpad's embedded URL params still work and the user
could use it to ovewrite.

Use nginx rules to block an access attempt that contains the userName argument.

810deb907b refactor(etherpad): access control et al.
Move all Etherpad's access control from Meteor to a separated [Node application](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-pads).
This new app uses [Etherpad's API](https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.4/#index_overview)
to create groups and manage session tokens for users to access them. Each group
represents one distinct pad at the html5 client.

- Removed locked users' access to pads: replaced readOnly pad's access with a new pad's content sharing routine
- Pad's access is now controlled by [Etherpad's API](https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.4/#index_overview)
- Closed captions edited content now reflects at it's live feedback
- Improved closed caption's dictation mode live feedback
- Moved all Etherpad's API control from Meteor to a separated [app](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-pads)
- Included access control both in akka-apps and bbb-pads
