Add Guest account to WebUI (allowing only to view status of downloads without admin permissions)

Suggestion

Hey! It’d be awesome to have a Guest account option on the WebUI that just lets people check the status of downloads. I’m running a torrent client on my server for a few folks, and I don’t want to give them full admin access—just the ability to monitor what’s going on.

The best way to handle this for now would be to use a reverse proxy like nginx and only allow the client to send GET and HEAD requests. You would need to handle auth in nginx as logging in requires a POST.
