Full disclosure: IBM Cloud Identity Services is my current employer / project.
There is a concept of IDaaS - Identity as a Service that covers the first part of your request (sign up / identity lifecycle, authentication / single sign on, user self-service for password resets, etc...).
I think things are heading towards what you're describing, but picture it more as a catalog of skeleton backend apps built on top of pieces like you called out, as a starting point for different types of projects.

This is one such offering, there's a good overview of the features here: http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cloud/cloud-identity-service/
Also, I recommend looking into the IBM BlueMix cloud platform: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/
