Support for NTLM authentication added

To support NTLM authentication, a database is added as an authentication source.
Currently, only the configuration file is supported as a database.
Database authentication supports Basic and NTLM authentication protcols.

ServerConfig.BasicAuthEnabled renamed to LocalEnabled as Basic auth can be used with Database or Local.

### Database (Basic Auth or NTLM)
The gateway can also support authentication using a local database.
Currently, only the configuration file is supported as a database.
In the future, support for real databases (e.g. sqlite) may be added.
Database authentication has the advantage that it is easy to setup, especially in case the gateway is used for a limited number of users.
Unlike PAM / local, database authentication supports the default windows client ``mstsc``.
__WARNING__: The password is currently saved in plain text. So, you should keep the config file as secure as possible and avoid
reusing the same password for other applications. The password is stored in plain text to support the NTLM authentication protocol.
To enable database authentication make sure to set the following variables in the configuration file.
```yaml
Server:
Authentication:
- database
Users:
- {Username: "username1", Password: "secure_password"} # Modify this password!
Caps:
TokenAuth: false
```
The client can then connect to the gateway directly by using a remote desktop client using the gateway credentials
configured in the YAML configuration file.
