auth: auth-proxy-http-header command for testing multiple users

Administrator requested to merge k/20220721-auth-proxy into main

Created by: keegancsmith

For permission testing I wrote this command to very conveniently switch between users. This is kind of like the already existing testproxy, except much more convenient to use as well as being targetted for auth testing rather than http-header testing.

I'm unsure of how to document this further so people are aware of it. Alternatively I think it is also useful to maybe spin up by default in our enterprise env. I'll leave both of those for future PRs. For now I will advertise in #dev-chat and #dev-experience.

Here is the example output to give you a feel for what it does:

$ go run ./internal/cmd/auth-proxy-http-header
https://docs.sourcegraph.com/admin/auth#http-authentication-proxies

  "auth.providers": [
    {
      "type": "http-header",
      "usernameHeader": "X-Forwarded-User",
      "emailHeader": "X-Forwarded-Email"
    }
  ]
