Proposed changes
This change allows us to use our own authentication middleware in substitution for the built-in basic-auth middleware at the top level of RED.httpNode. The property httpNodeAuth in settings.js can receive a value that is a middleware function or array of middleware functions or fallback to using the built-in basic-auth. This change is backwards compatible. It was discussed on the forum @ https://discourse.nodered.org/t/httpnode-top-level-middleware-to-replace-basic-auth/85654/1
