Allow sets of usernames and hashed passwords to be hard-coded into configuration files for basic auth:

{
auth_basic "This is a private page";
auth_basic_user "user:gebbber salt:c3223423fd, hash: sha256, pass:42333f321323a2343c4345b434c433d34e344344f3";
auth_basic_user "user:bob salt:8356875fd0, hash: sha256, pass:3f321423433d34e344344f33c323a2343c4345b434";
