Tailscale nginx auth plugin adapted for Traefik

This is a small tweak to the nginx auth plugin provided by tailscale, but adapted to work with Traefik

• Listens on http
• Uses X-Forwarded-For instead of Remote-IP
• X-Forwarded-Port instead of Remote-Port (this is almost certainly wrong as it should be the source port, but traefik does not yet provide use an equivalent)

Overview

Command nginx-auth is a tool that allows users to use Tailscale Whois authentication with NGINX as a reverse proxy. This allows users that already have a bunch of services hosted on an internal NGINX server to point those domains to the Tailscale IP of the NGINX server and then seamlessly use Tailscale for authentication.
