mod_firewall: Update user marks to store instantly via map store
The original approach was to keep marks in memory only, and persist them at
shutdown. That saves I/O, at the cost of potentially losing marks on an
unclean shutdown.
This change persists marks instantly, which may have some performance overhead
but should be more "correct".
It also splits the marking/unmarking into an event which may be watched or
even fired by other modules.

| 2 summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol | |
| 3 ... | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Introduction | |
| 6 ============ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured | |
| 9 URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server | |
| 10 until answered. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Configuration | |
| 13 ============= | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ``` lua | |
| 16 VirtualHost "example.com" | |
| 17 authentication = "custom_http" | |

| 23 Protocol | |
| 24 ======== | |
| 25 | |
| 26 The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` | |
| 27 members: | |
| 28 | |
| 29 {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} | |
| 30 | |
| 31 The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the | |
| 32 username and password are correct. |
