Author authentication

[nluu175]

Change Lists:

• Implemented endpoints to server login and signup purpose
• Updated Author model by adding user field for authentication
• Added Login and SignUp components on frontend side
• Added react-toastify library for displaying toast message

Todo:

• Implement the logic to restrict certains routes when not logged in

Guide on testing:

• Please run migrate and make migrations on server before you run the server since there are changes to the database.

• For testing only the 2 new endpoints (using Postman)

• signup: Currently returns status code 200 on succesful sign up, 409 on existing username and 400 on others.
  

• login: Currently returns status code 201 on succesful login, 401 on wrong password and 404 on not existing username.
  

• For testing on the frontend side

• at /signup/, there are currently 5 fields. Any errors will have a toast message pop up. Succesful display a success message and redirect to /login/
• at /login/, there are currently 2 fields. Any errors will have a toast message pop up. Succesful display a success message and redirect to /home-page/ and save authToken to localStorage (localStorage can be found in develop tools).

Looks good to me.

@Boredalien248 hey have you tried pulling the branch and testing the new features? Please run npm start on the client and check the /login and /signup if they work correctly. I tested it on mine but I'd love to have someone else on check on on environment as well. Thank you!!!
