Adds a basic http auth middleware as an alternative to noauth in
standalone environments. This middleware uses a password file which
supports the Apache `htpasswd`_ syntax. This file is read for every
request, so no service restart is required when changes are made.
The only password digest supported is bcrypt, and the ``bcrypt``
python library is used for password checks since it supports ``$2y$``
prefixed bcrypt passwords as generated by the Apache htpasswd utility.
