Configurable front-end Servlet Filter as proxy surrogate.
Allows the insertion of an overall Servlet Filter
on top of the Gerrit HTTPD listener. This can be
useful when an additional security enforcement
(i.e. IP-based filtering) is needed on the overall
Gerrit HTTP protocol.
It is very useful for avoiding the usage of Apache
HTTP front-end reverse-proxy and associated problems
such as REST API URL mangling.
Another typical usage is in conjunction with the auth.type = HTTP
and an associated auth.httpheader: instead of putting
an entire Apache HTTP Proxy in front of Gerrit, just
configure a simple Servlet packaged in a JAR on the
$GERRIT_SITE/lib directory.
