Previously, there was no option to replace value of `X-Forwarded-For`
HTTP Header. It was only possible to completely remove it. It's not good
solution, since backend may require this information. But using direct
value of this header is insecure. And requires complex knowledge of
infrastruce at backend side (see spoofing X-Forwarded-For articles).
This commit adds new flag, that replaces content of `X-Forwarded-For`
HTTP Header value with current `RemoteAddress` of client that send
request.
It should be used if `vmauth` is directly attached to the internet.

This commit allows vmauth to obtain client IP address from HTTP Headers.
Main scenario for it is vmauth located behind reverse-proxy.
It adds both global and per user configuration settings: -httpRealIPHeader and `real_ip_header` config option.
vmauth try to obtain IP from header if this setting is set. If header is not exists, vmauth fallbacks to `remoteAddress`.
Commit also updates incorrect benchmarks and align test package naming for ip_filters

The /some_path/.+ regexp matches /some_path/ followed by at least a single char.
This is unexpected by most users, since they expect it should match /some_path/.
Substitute .+ with .*, so this regexp matches /some_path/ .
This reverts commit 4d66e042e3.
Reasons for revert:
- The commit makes unrelated invalid changes to docs/CHANGELOG.md
- The changes at app/vmauth/main.go are too complex. It is better splitting them into two parts:
- pooling readTrackingBody struct for reducing pressure on GC
- avoiding to use readTrackingBody when -maxRequestBodySizeToRetry command-line flag is set to 0
Let's make this in the follow-up commits!

Using `sh` or `console` formatting doesn't do word-breaking on render. This makes flags description
harder to read, as users need to scroll the web page horizontally.
Removing the formatting renders the description with normal word-breaking.
- Use exact matching by default for the query arg value provided via arg=value syntax at src_query_args.
Regex matching can be enabled by using =~ instead of = . For example, arg=~regex.
This ensures that the exact matching works as expected without the need to escape special regex chars.
- Add helper functions for creating QueryArg, Header and Regex structs in tests.
This improves maintainability of the tests.
- Remove url.QueryUnescape() call on the url in TestCreateTargetURLSuccess(), since this is bogus approach.
The url.QueryUnescape() must be applied to individual query args, and it mustn't be applied to the whole url,
since in this case it may perform invalid unescaping in the context of the url, or make the resulting url invalid.
While at it, properly marshal all the fields inside UserInfo config to yaml in tests.
Previously Header and QueryArg structs were improperly marshaled because the custom MarshalYAML
is called only on pointers to Header and QueryArg structs. This improves test coverage.

- Allow specifying only a single HTTP header for reading auth tokens via -httpAuthHeader command-line flag.
This is better from security PoV, since this prevents from accidental reading of auth token from undesired
HTTP header. By default the -httpAuthHeader equals to Authorization. When it is overridden, then
auth token isn't read from Authorization header - it is read only from the specified header.
- Document the -httpAuthHeader command-line flag at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/#reading-auth-tokens-from-other-http-headers
