Closes #118

The secure_msg and the user_helper may be removed soon as it is likely
they are unused.

@JimBacon presumably this can be closed now?

I'd be inclined to close this without merging and re-open #118. We have not addressed the broken, and redundant code that is in secure_msg.php and the site_user/authenticate_user service.

I think we can be confident now that it is unused since it is broken. The mcrypt library is no longer packaged with PHP. It could be obtained from PECL, if we wanted it, but the functions are all deprecated so it would still throw errors.

The solution now seems to be to strip out that code.
