Add support for authentication based on reverse proxy email (#19949)

This is useful in scenarios where the reverse proxy may have knowledge
of user emails, but does not know about usernames set on gitea,
as in the feature request in #19948.

I tested this by setting up a fresh gitea install with one user `mhl`
and email `m.hasnain.lakhani@gmail.com`. I then created a private repo,
and configured gitea to allow reverse proxy authentication.

Via curl I confirmed that these two requests now work and return 200s:

curl http://localhost:3000/mhl/private -I --header "X-Webauth-User: mhl"
curl http://localhost:3000/mhl/private -I --header "X-Webauth-Email: m.hasnain.lakhani@gmail.com"

Before this commit, the second request did not work.

I also verified that if I provide an invalid email or user,
a 404 is correctly returned as before

Closes #19948
