🐛 [Bug]: Custom context not carried forward with middleware.

[prasad83]

Bug Description

Issue 1

I had to use the following signature for custom context

type MyContext struct {
	fiber.DefaultCtx
}

app.NewCtxFunc(func(app *fiber.App) fiber.CustomCtx { /* correction: fiber.Ctx is documented */
    return &MyContext{
        DefaultCtx: *fiber.NewDefaultCtx(app), /* correction: Ctx is documented */
    }
})

Issue 2

app := fiber.New()

app.NewCtxFunc(func(app *fiber.App) fiber.CustomCtx {
    return &MyContext{
        DefaultCtx: *fiber.NewDefaultCtx(app),
    }
})

app.Use(logger.New()) /* when used MyContext is not carried forward */

app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    myCtx := c.(*MyContext)
}

app.Listen(":8080")

panic: as c here is *DefaultCtx

How to Reproduce

Run and make request http://localhost:8080/

Expected Behavior

myCtx := c.(*MyContext)

this should work even when middleware is used.

we will check this in the https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/pull/3296 PR there we rewrote the custom context initiailisation

What if embedded Defaultcontext keeps a reference to the custom context so it can refer to it

Is there any update on this? It will be very beneficial to have a custom structure that could be use to store known values and avoid the cost of storing and loading the value from fasthttp UserData
