What does this PR do?
Add some configuration options and corresponding structures to pass
username
andpassword
to theinfluxdb
metric backend. These options are only usable with HTTP and NOT with the UDP configuration.Motivation
Passwords are good for security I guess? Also I needed it for my work and it was easily implemented as the HTTP backend was ready since #3391.

Additional Notes
Built and tested, apparently traefik doesn't report metrics when there is no request. Is that by design? Other influxdb colletors (such as
telegraf
) usually report one record per second for each metrics.
