Allow HTTP auth pass-though

[akcoder]

Allow HTTP auth pass-through. Useful where you have a paranoid systems admin who only trusts HTTP auth to protect the site. Removes the logout link if the user authenticated with HTTP auth.

Also fixes what I presume was a minor oversight where "Howdy, username" was displayed instead of the users full name.

Salutation fixed in pull request #713. Opted to show just the first name, full name on salutation might break the page layout for users with long names.

We will revisit authentication is 1.8 or 1.9 - the plan is to provide pluggable authentication plugin system with authentication backend such as HTTP auth, LDAP etc.

Thank you for the update!
