Proposed Changes

In NetBox 2.9, the RemoteUserBackend class has been moved from utilities.auth_backends to netbox.authentication. We should catch configuration references to the old location, correct them, and issue a user warning.

Justification

This allows a smoother upgrade process from an earlier release.
