PR Checklist

PR Structure

  • This PR has reasonably narrow scope (if not, break it down into smaller PRs).
  • This PR avoids mixing refactoring changes with feature changes (split into two PRs
    otherwise).
  • This PR's title starts with name of package that is most changed in the PR, ex.
    services/friendbot, or all or doc if the changes are broad or impact many
    packages.

Thoroughness

  • This PR adds tests for the most critical parts of the new functionality or fixes.
  • I've updated any docs (developer docs, .md
    files, etc... affected by this change). Take a look in the docs folder for a given service,
    like this one.

Release planning

  • I've updated the relevant CHANGELOG (here for Horizon) if
    needed with deprecations, added features, breaking changes, and DB schema changes.
  • I've decided if this PR requires a new major/minor version according to
    semver, or if it's mainly a patch change. The PR is targeted at the next
    release branch if it's not a patch change.

What

Add SEP-10 web authentication implementation based on SEP-10 v1.2.0 that requires the master key have a high threshold for authentication to succeed.

Why

We need a standalone server implementation of SEP-10 for the mobile-wallet and this provides a server supporting the absolute basics of the existing SEP-10 protocol.

The SEP-10 protocol doesn't define what threshold a server should require a signing master key to have on an account, but for the sake of demonstration and our use case it requires the high threshold. It could be configurable but isn't at the moment.

This implementation has been written with the proposal in mind that we are making to SEP-10 (stellar/stellar-protocol#489) also, and already sets up the test cases with where we expect multi-sig to go but has those tests set with expectations that are appropriate given the limitations of SEP-10 today.

Known limitations

This application is not polished which is why it is being added to the exp package and why this is a draft PR.

I'm writing API tests, it's ideal if they don't use code they're testing, they should test all the code behind the endpoint and it's inexpensive to use a type here.
