fix(auth): the wiki-index BasicAuth credentials read the API again
#14 put the read API behind a session or an API key. External agents
reach the wiki through wiki-index.renner.uno with BasicAuth only, and
since #14 they got 401: a regression.

The service now checks `Authorization: Basic` itself against the same
htpasswd lines Traefik's wiki-api-basic-auth middleware uses
(Auth:Basic:UsersPath: a file, or a mounted Secret directory where every
visible key is read, as Traefik reads every key of an Opaque Secret).
This is a credential check in the service, not trust in a proxy: the
header proves nothing unless the password matches the hash.

- Hash formats Traefik accepts: bcrypt ($2a$/$2b$/$2y$, BCrypt.Net-Next
  4.2.1), Apache MD5 ($apr1$, implemented here and checked against the
  Traefik docs example and `openssl passwd -apr1`), SHA1 ({SHA}). Any
  other format authenticates nobody.
- The identity is a machine named after the BasicAuth user.
- Policy "read" accepts it; "write" stays API-key only, and the UI stays
  OIDC only.
- A verified (user, password, hash) triple is cached in memory, so bcrypt
  costs once per process.
- With no UsersPath configured the scheme authenticates nobody, so this
  image is safe before the deployment mounts the Secret.

Tests: all three hash formats read the API; a wrong password, an unknown
user, an empty password and a user found only in a hidden Secret entry
are 401; BasicAuth cannot write and does not open the UI.
