I have now implemented using community auth for download of mboxes and raw
emails. Turns out that was *way* easier than I thought, since all the heavy
lifting had already been done when we implemented email resending. Famous
last words of course, but it looks like it's working.

I don't *think* we have the old auth method documented anywhere (I looked
through pgweb and pgarchives repos), but if someone knows of some
instructions that tell people to use that, they need to get updated!
