Adds simple config option and flag to allow for auth to occur via POST request in addition to GET. Rationale: Errors from net/http requests are bubbled to nsqd when there is an error during authentication, such as if the nsq authentication server is unavailable. These errors include the full path, including any GET parameter, thus causing the authentication secret to be logged. This does not occur by default for the POST body thus helping protect secrets in transit between nsqd and the authentication server.

This adds support for POST based authentication in addition to GET based authentication.
As described in #1486, the default behavior of nsqd to to propagate upward any errors from
net/httpclients which leads to Secret's leakage if the authentication server is unavailble.
