allow unauthenticated access to dashboard (readonly)

Short description

Allow unauthenticated access to read-only dashboard, skipping the need to supply an http password.

Usecase

As a user with many dnsdist servers, manually entering the user/web-password combo for each dashboard is very annoying.

So annoying that I put it behind a revserve proxy and inject Authentication: Basic ... so that admin users can access it directly via VPN without password.

The dashboard is readonly, and the listening address is controllable, so this isn't a major security risk.
