This commit adds a new authentication middleware for the kobs API. This middleware is used to get user information (e.g. the email address of an user) from a HTTP header. The header can be set via the "--api.auth-header" flag. If this header is present kobs will log all requests including a user field. We also added an example how this header can be passed to kobs, when kobs is protected using the OAuth2 Proxy. In the future we will use this feature to extend some plugins like the Opsgenie plugin, where we can use this user for additional actions like acknowledge or snooze alerts.

With the new authentication logic, which was introduced in #103 it is now possible to acknowledge, snooze and close Opsgenie alerts via kobs. These action must be enabled via the configuration file for kobs. When they are enabled they will be added as additional actions in the React UI. If kobs is used with a setup like it was introduced in #103 we will use the correct user for these action. If no user is set we use the default user named "kobs.io".
