Enhancement: Add support for proxy-based authentication
The server now supports authentication via a proxy header specified with the --proxy-auth flag (e.g., --proxy-auth=X-Forwarded-User).
The server now supports authentication via a proxy header specified with the `--proxy-auth-username` flag (e.g., `--proxy-auth-username=X-Forwarded-User`).
When this flag is set, the server will authenticate users based on the given header and disable BasicAuth.
Note that --proxy-auth is ignored if --no-auth is set, as --no-auth disables all authentication.
