- 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
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6009
It has been appeared that there are VictoriaMetrics users, who rely on the fact that
VictoriaMetrics components were closing incoming connections to -httpListenAddr every 2 minutes
by default. So let's return back this value by default in order to fix the breaking change
made at d8c1db7953 .
See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1304#issuecomment-1961891450 .
* port un-synced changed from docs/readme to readme
* consistently use `sh` instead of `console` highlight, as it looks like
a more appropriate syntax highlight
* consistently use `sh` instead of `bash`, as it is shorter
* consistently use `yaml` instead of `yml`

Examples:
1) -metricsAuthKey=file:///abs/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given absolute filepath
2) -metricsAuthKey=file://./relative/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given relative filepath
3) -metricsAuthKey=http://some-host/some/path?query_arg=abc - reads flag value from the given url
The flag value is automatically updated when the file contents changes.
* app/vmauth: adds metric_labels and backend_errors counter
it must improve observability for user requests with new metric - per user backend errors counter.
it's needed to calculate requests fail rate to the configured backends.
metric_labels configuration allows to perform additional aggregations on top of multiple users from configuration section.
It could be multiple clients or clients with separate read/write tokens

- Re-use identically configured http.Transport across multiple users.
This fixes handling of the limit on the number of connection, which can be established per each backend
via -maxIdleConnsPerBackend command-line flag. This limit stopped working after 323f3720ed
- Add docs about backend TLS setup at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#backend-tls-setup
- Add ability to disable backend TLS verification for all the users via -backend.tlsInsecureSkipVerify command-line flag.
This flag may be useful when -auth.config contains big number of users, and every user must disable backend TLS verification.
- Add ability to specify TLS Root CA via tls_ca_file option at per-user basis and via -backend.tlsCAFile command-line flag
across all the users.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5240
Add `tls_insecure_skip_verify` option on per-user basis which allows to disable TLS verification for all requests to backend on behalf of this user.

* vmauth: add browser authorization request for http requests without credentials to a route that is not in the `unauthorized_user` section (when `unauthorized_user` is specified).
* add link to issue in CHANGELOG

support `Strict-Transport-Security`, `Content-Security-Policy` and `X-Frame-Options`
HTTP headers in all VictoriaMetrics components.
The values for headers can be specified by users via the following flags:
`-http.header.hsts`, `-http.header.csp` and `-http.header.frameOptions`.

- Make more clear the docs at docs/enterprise.md, so readers could figure out faster
on how to obtain enterprise key and how to pass it to VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components.
- Fix examples at docs/enterprise.md, which were referring to non-existing `-license-file` command-line flag.
The `-licenseFile` command-line flag must be used instead.
- Improve the description of `-license*` command-line flags, so users could understand
faster how to use them.
- Improve the warning message, which is emitted when the deprecated -eula command-line flag is passed,
so the user could figure out how to switch faster to -license* command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components with both -license and -licenseFile command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components when -licensFile points to an empty file.
- Consistently use the phrase "This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries" across
all the enterprise-specific command-line flags.
- Remove unneeded level of indirection for `noLicenseMessage` and `expiredMessage` string contants
in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
- Remove unneded `return` statements after `logger.Fatalf()` calls, since these calls exit the app and never return.
- Make sure that the info log message about successful license verification is emitted
when the license is verified successfully. Previously the error message could be logged
when the license payload is invalid or if it misses some required features.
