Add authentication support

[Manfred]

Most applications use some form of authentication so it's probably useful to add some sort of mechanism to PerfCheck to select a role and/or user for authentication.

I think we want to pass the role as a string so the target application can resolve it in a useful way. In the context of this issue I don't care how the target application does this.

perf_check --user-role admin /manage/users

For selecting a specific user we also want to accept a string.

perf_check --user [email protected] /dashboard
perf_check --user 5543453 /dashboard

We can also limit the API surface by forcing users to encode their user scheme into some sort of serialized form.

perf_check --user company:12,user:5 /dashboard
perf_check --user role=admin /admin/board

Internally we can call this options.user or option.authenticated_user for extreme clarity. Eventually it should be replaced by options.cookie or options.headers.

This all sounds very sane. I'd love to reduce the amount of custom definitions currently needed in the before callbacks.

Do you prefer options.user or options.authenticated_user and should we have a separate configuration for user roles?
