feat: add forward authentication configuration and UI

- Introduced ForwardAuthConfig model to store global forward authentication settings. - Updated Manager to fetch and apply forward authentication configuration. - Added ForwardAuthHandler to create a reverse proxy handler for authentication. - Enhanced ProxyHost model to include forward authentication options. - Created Security page and ForwardAuthSettings component for managing authentication settings. - Implemented API endpoints for fetching and updating forward authentication configuration. - Added tests for new functionality including validation and error handling. - Updated frontend components to support forward authentication settings.
