[auth][docs] Add Aegis Authenticator Authy Export instructions (#4314)

Reasoning: I encountered some console errors trying to export from Authy
using the first method described in the existing documentation. After a
bunch of research I found that Aegis Authenticator can import from the
same device and it worked like a charm, so I hope other people can use
this method as well.
