2014-01-16auth: add basic authentication filter frameworkJason A. Donenfeld
This leverages the new lua support. See filters/simple-authentication.lua for explaination of how this works. There is also additional documentation in cgitrc.5.txt. Though this is a cookie-based approach, cgit's caching mechanism is preserved for authenticated pages. Very plugable and extendable depending on user needs. The sample script uses an HMAC-SHA1 based cookie to store the currently logged in user, with an expiration date. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
