VMUser introduce an option for backend authorization.

[f41gh7]

It would be great to have an option to define Bearer token or Basic Auth configuration for targets.

For instance:

kind: VMUser
  spec
    targetRefs:
     paths:
     - static:
       - ursl: [http://host1:8429,http://host2:8429,http://host3:8429]
       basicAuth:
        password:
          key: password
          name: secretname
        username:
          key: username
         name: secretname

Must produce following vmauth config with Authorization header:

users:
- username: "user"
  password: "***"
  headers:
  - Authorization: Basic BASE64_ENCODED_VALUE
  url_prefix:
  - "http://host1:8429/"
  - "http://host2:8429/"
  - "http://host3:8429/"

It's safe to store headers at configuration file, since it uses secure kubernetes secret.

For multiple, url_map headers should be used.

@Haleygo @f41gh7 I see this FR was implemented in operator repo. Should we close this ticket as done or follow-up in vmauth is required?

Yes, #714 provides field TargetRefBasicAuth in vmuser, it builds seperated header with authorization token for each target, close this issue as completed.
And according to this comment, no further move is needed in vmauth.
