Bug Description
Per default, Mahara displays the "Username for external authentication" on the user account admin page no matter whether the account has actually set a remoteuser value or not. This is confusing when you want to check if an auth instance works correctly because you will have to check the database (in 2 different places) or at least do a user report which pulls the remotuser value from the "correct" DB table.
Mahara should only display a remoteuser if it really exists.

suggested functionality: Mahara should only display a remoteuser value if the selected authplugin (in the Authentication method dropdown) is not '... internal'.
If the Authentication method is external then some javascript displays the 'Username for external authentication' field - which will contain the remote username if set.
Only institutions' for which the user is a member will have their authentication methods shown
The 'Username for external authentication' help has been updated
