mail proxy: allow dynamically deciding whether to use SMTP authentication to the backend

Adds a `Auth-Method` as a valid response header for the HTTP
authentication server. When set to 'None', the proxy will not
attempt to perform SMTP authentication to the backend, even
when `proxy_smtp_auth` is `on`. This is useful when some backends
require authentication, while others don't allow it.

While this has been tested and works, the patch was created with an
incomplete understanding of the `proxy_smtp_auth` option, so it might
not be the cleanest implementation. Sharing as 'draft' for now until
I find the time to set up a better test environment and revise the
patch. Any feedback/pointers/etc welcome :)

Fixes #155
