lws minimal http server basic auth
This demonstrates how to protect a mount using a password file outside of the mount itself.
The demo has two mounts, a normal one at / and one protected by basic auth at /secret.
The file at ./ba-passwords contains valid user:password combinations.
Discovering the authenticated user
After a successful authentication, the WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION token
contains the authenticated username.
