Update Drupal core to 8.4.7 via Composer. Security update; I *think* we've
been lucky to get away with this so far, as we don't support self-registration
which seems to be used by the so-called "drupalgeddon 2" attack that 8.4.5
was vulnerable to.

<?php

namespace Drupal\user;

/**
 * An interface for validating user authentication credentials.
 */
interface UserAuthInterface {

  /**
   * Validates user authentication credentials.
   *
   * @param string $username
   *   The user name to authenticate.
   * @param string $password
   *   A plain-text password, such as trimmed text from form values.
   * @return int|bool
   *   The user's uid on success, or FALSE on failure to authenticate.

  public function authenticate($username, $password);
