Canvas authentication

Participate in the issue: github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/issues/6171

Context

Large educational institutions like UToronto, the kinds of institutions likely to be in our Premier tier, use Canvas to manage their users. They are unlikely to ever want to switch to managing their users and groups in something like JupyterHub, but we still want to enable them to everage their user databases for the purposes of usage and costs monitoring.

What we need to do

We want to use Canvas as an authentication method for our hubs, and implement it in such a way that its user database can be linked to our usage and costs monitoring features.
