This feature allows proxy servers to identify the actual request user
using a request parameter, and performs access control checks against
that user instead of the authenticated user. Impersonation is only
allowed if the authenticated user is configured as an admin.
The request parameter used ("doAs") matches the one currently used by
Knox, but it should be easy to change / customize if different proxy
servers use a different way of identifying the original user.
Tested with updated unit tests and also with a live server behind Knox.
