Preparatory refactoring of the SamlHandlerTestCase (#8938)

* move simple_async_mock to test_utils

... so that it can be re-used

* Remove references to `SamlHandler._map_saml_response_to_user` from tests

This method is going away, so we can no longer use it as a test point. Instead,
factor out a higher-level method which takes a SAML object, and verify correct
behaviour by mocking out `AuthHandler.complete_sso_login`.

* changelog

changelog.d/8938.feature

+Add support for allowing users to pick their own user ID during a single-sign-on login.
