Summary:                    [patch] Add HTTP Basic Authentication Scheme
(rfc2617) for manager web interface.
Description: 
I found, that manager web interface used "Cookie" Header for authenticate
the user. This require two http request, one for authenticate and next for
commands.
This patch add only Basic authentication scheme implementation, as defined
in rfc2617.
If used this scheme, httptimeout are unused, but we don't need to keep a
http session (and mansession) alive, after HTTP Request is processed.

If we could add this, it would be awesome.

I think overall, (even in manager.c it says /* XXX we should probably not
read the config file on every authentication attempt */) this would be
great for any system with intensive manager activity.
