using the "BasicAuth" keyword in tinyproxy.conf.
base64 code was written by myself and taken from my own library "libulz".
for this purpose it is relicensed under the usual terms of the tinyproxy
license.

some users want to run tinyproxy on an as-needed basis in a terminal,
without setting it up permanently to run as a daemon/service.
in such use case, it is very annoying that tinyproxy didn't have
an option to log to stdout, so the user has to keep a second terminal
open to `tail -f` the log.
additionally, this precluded usage with runit service supervisor,
which runs all services in foreground and creates logfiles from the
service's stdout/stderr.
since logging to stdout doesn't make sense when daemonized, now if
no logfile is specified and daemon mode activated, a warning is
printed to stderr once, and nothing is logged.
the original idea was to fail with an error message, though some users
might actually want to run tinyproxy as daemon and no logging at all.

some people want to run tinyproxy with minimal configuration from
the command line (and as non-root), but tinyproxy insists on writing
a pid file, which only makes sense for usage as a service, hereby
forcing the user to either run it as root so it can write to the
default location, or start editing the default config file to work
around it.
and if no pidfile is specified in the config, it frankly doesn't
make sense to force creation of one anyway.

tinyproxy conservatively defaulted to allow CONNECT method only
on two ports used by SSL in the ancient past, but since HTTPS usage
got much more widespread (actually, it's now the default for the
majority of websites), it makes sense now to allow it without
restriction by default to accomodate for the new situation.

These are compiled in defaults now.

"@LOCALSTATEDIR@/run/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.pid"
I.e., add a tinyproxy subdirectory.
This is meant to ease running tinyproxy as non-root user.
The subdirectory can be used to give the tinyproxy user
write permission.

This is a first cut at providing a tinyproxy.conf file with
more useful default or example directories. It uses datadir,
sysconfdir and localstatedir.
Because automake is a little special here, this template can
not simply be processed by configure (AC_CONFIG_FILES(...)),
as these variables can only be used like this in makefiles.
Instead, we need a little sed-processor in the Makfile in etc/.
