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.
