Internal Server Error when mod_shib is not installed

[jrchamp]

This came up on the WordPress plugin support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sibboleth-installation-internal-server-error/

It's fair to say that we do expect people to install the mod_shib package before installing our plugin, but it might also be good to not take their site offline. In that ticket, I suggest wrapping the Shibboleth configuration directives in an IfModule block, as in:

<IfModule mod_shib>
    AuthType shibboleth
    Require shibboleth
</IfModule>

Is this something that we would be interested in adding to the core plugin? If so, I'd be happy to create a pull request.

I think that is a great idea and is something we probably should do in the first place. If you have time @jrchamp and want to put this into a quick PR, that'd be great. If not, I'll try to take care of it next week during my routine maintenance work.

This will be implemented in the pending 2.2 release. Thanks for the suggestion @jrchamp!

Reopened because of the issues found in #64. Once we hear back from the reporters, we can attempt to resolve the issue in cPanel environments.
