Title: Adding some basic proxy authentication code

Adding some basic proxy authentication code to limit the access of users to the proxy.

Currently only the basic authentication scheme is provided, and a choice between (1) using a htpasswd file, (2) specifying the username and password in the command line, (3) or accepting any user as long as she identifies herself is given. Authentication is turned off by default, and has to be specified by the command line parameters.

In the future, the authentication scheme and user management can be extended to include other methods.
