Fix the `proxy_authentication_handler` name
I'm sorry, but the docs say `authentication`, not `authentification`.[1] If
you do what the docs say, you simply break your Couch: it starts responding
with HTTP 500 to every request that is not authenticated by an earlier handler.
According to the Urban Dictionary, "authentification" is "authentication
process which is not working".[1] You can't argue with the UD on that! :)
Some people using this handler might actually use the wrong spelling in
their configs, so I left the original name as an alias.
