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.
