Item14380: Foswiki should have option to use X-Forwarded-For to determine Client IP in reverse proxy configuration.

In proxy configurations, the Foswiki events log will only contain the proxy server's IP address, anonymizing the clients.

The X-Forwarded-For header will often contain the real client IP in a proxy configuration.

See Wikipedia:X-Forwarded-For

Implemented as a new Proxies option: {PROXY}{UseForwardedForHeader}

Re-opening this to work on for 2.1.5. Since the code already processes the Forwarding headers - incorrectly - this really is a bugfix. It needs to support: X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Port and X-Forwarded-Proto which may be present.
