HTTP Basic Authentication

The HTTP interface can be secured by HTTP basic authentication (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617). When enabled then only HTTP requests providing a valid authentication header will be accepted. The username provided in requests is ignored, only the password gets validated.
The security option can be enabled/disabled using config-security-api_secured. The password can be set using config-security-api_password. NOTE: When enabling the option then in the same request also config-security-api_password has to be included. config-security-api_password can never be set separately. I can only be set within a request that also enables the security option.
