Bug Description

When configuring an institution (Administration -> Institutions -> Edit) there is an option to change the authentication methods available to that institution. However, there are various accessibility issues with the form element used to configure this:

- The "Add" combo box has no associated label
- The links representing existing plugins are not descriptive (instead of "Internal", for example, it would be good to have something like "Internal (authentication plugin)")
- These links should logically be <li>'s in an <ul> rather than <label>'s in a <div>
- The delete buttons should contain more descriptive text saying which plugin they delete

Instead of having the hidden label say "Internal (authentication plugin)", could we simply say "Internal authentication"? That should work for the other auth plugins as well: LDAP authentication, XMLRPC authentication... Admins can change the title of what is being displayed, but even that should be OK, e.g. "School authentication". It's not too descriptive, but it's not descriptive for sighted users either until they go to the auth configuration and see what fields are available.
