/**
 * Manages "Authentication" to Sunshine's backend service.  The SyncAdapter framework
 * requires an authenticator object, so syncing to a service that doesn't need authentication
 * typically means creating a stub authenticator like this one.
 * This code is copied directly, in its entirety, from
 * http://developer.android.com/training/sync-adapters/creating-authenticator.html
 * Which is a pretty handy reference when creating your own syncadapters.  Just sayin'.
