"require_valid_user=true" (except for /_session)

   It would be good to have this fix, it is really unexpected that you are 
required to submit the same auth details twice (as a header and in the body) to 
get a session cookie when `require_valid_user=true`.
   
   Given https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1550 - with this change the 
replicator would also stop falling back to Basic auth when 
`require_valid_user=true`. That would be beneficial in cases where the PBKDF2 
iterations are configured strongly and the session cookie has performance 
advantages over checking the basic creds on each request.
   
   EDIT: it seems perhaps I misunderstood the fallback behaviour in the 
replicator, but regardless this would be a lot less burdensome if `POST 
_session` "just worked" when the body had the correct creds.
