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.

Basic HTTP auth is *very* insecure. I don't really like supporting it.
There's a reason why we don't support it in the SIP standards any more.

We already have code for digest HTTP auth in chan_sip, maybe we need to
move that to a common library and use it for both modules.
