Disable authentication check

[dtslvr]

As we are implementing our own authentication middleware, it would be great to disable the authentication check in @cubejs-backend/api-gateway.

I could imagine something like this:

import * as CubejsServerCore from "@cubejs-backend/server-core";

const config = {
  ...
  security: false
};
const core = CubejsServerCore.create(config);

What do you think?

@dtslvr I think it makes sense to add such behavior. The only thing: API gateway requires user context to get user info from. Probably the best way is to extract auth middleware which sets user context and let users override it.

@paveltiunov Yes, overriding sounds reasonable.

Great work! Now I can override it via

const config = {
  checkAuthMiddleware: (req, res, next) => {
    return next && next();
  }
};

CubejsServerCore.create(config);
