   * This interface provides an abstract way to request that the user
   * reauthenticate themselves to the operating system. It may be useful in
   * conjunction with nsIOSKeyStore, whereby consumers of these APIs may
   * consider some secrets too sensitive to access without first
   * reauthenticating the user.
   *
   * Usage:
   *
   * // obtain the singleton nsIOSReauthenticator instance
   * const reauthenticator = Cc["@mozilla.org/security/osreauthenticator;1"]
   *                           .getService(Ci.nsIOSReauthenticator);
   * if (await reauthenticator.asyncReauthenticate()) {
   *   // do something only authenticated users are allowed to do...
   * } else {
   *   // show a "sorry, this isn't allowed" error
   * }
   */

   * Asynchronously cause the operating system to request that the user
   * reauthenticate. This is typically in the form of a dialog box asking the
   * user for their login password. The actual behaviour of this depends on the
   * OS.
   *
   * @param prompt A short string that may be incorporated in the dialog
   * @param caption A short string that may be shown as the dialog caption (usually Product Name)
   * @param parentWindow Used to associate the OS dialog with the calling window.
   * @return Promise resolving to true if the user successfully authenticated
   *         and false otherwise.
