### Description The cas-auth plugin is great, but does not currently support retrieving the logged-in user from upstreams, making it really hard to do any kind of access control appart from "a user is logged-in". This PR adds the `set_user_header` and `user_header` attributes that enables setting the logged-in user in a header, and allows for the header's name customization. Some users have already asked for it. As far as backward compatibility is concerned: The header is set by default, so one might experience issues if setting the header before reaching apisix... which would make little sense considering apisix handles the authentication. Fixes #9524. ### Checklist - [x] I have explained the need for this PR and the problem it solves - [x] I have explained the changes or the new features added to this PR - [ ] I have added tests corresponding to this change - [x] I have updated the documentation to reflect this change - [x] I have verified that this change is backward compatible (If not, please discuss on the [APISIX mailing list](https://github.com/apache/apisix/tree/master#community) first) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
